Description

build_wheel.py runs the cmake configure step only on --clean, first build, or explicit --configure_cmake. Passing a configuration-affecting flag (e.g. --nvrtc_dynamic_linking, a changed --cuda_architectures, or --extra-cmake-vars) against an existing build dir therefore silently builds the previous configuration. Concrete failure: a build dir configured without --nvrtc_dynamic_linking keeps linking CUDA::nvrtc_static after the flag is added, which fails at link on CUDA 13.4 toolkits that no longer ship the static library — after a full compile cycle.

This change fingerprints the resolved configure arguments (sha256 over the sorted cmake definitions plus build type, targets, CUDA architectures, generator, and python executable) into <build_dir>/.cmake_configure_args.sha256 at configure time. On subsequent runs, a differing fingerprint forces reconfigure and prints one line explaining why. Build dirs predating the fingerprint file keep the current behavior until their next configure.

--configure_cmake remains as the explicit override; no new flags.

Test Coverage

  • tests/unittest/others/test_build_wheel_reconfigure.py (new): fingerprint order-independence, content sensitivity, digest form, and stored-fingerprint round-trip/missing/empty handling.
  • python3 -m py_compile scripts/build_wheel.py and pre-commit clean.

Dev Engineer Review

build_wheel.py now fingerprints effective CMake arguments, including the source directory, with SHA-256. It stores the digest after configuration and reconfigures when the marker is missing or the digest changes. Explicit configuration modes remain caller-controlled. CI merge pipelines failed, but no failure cause was provided.

QA Engineer Review

Added tests/unittest/others/test_build_wheel_reconfigure.py with 15 unit tests. The tests cover argument ordering, duplicate definitions, serialization, source-directory changes, stored-marker handling, legacy build directories, and explicit configuration modes. No integration test-list entry applies. Coverage verdict: needs follow-up because end-to-end reconfiguration and the CI failures remain unverified.

Per-File QA Perspective

  • scripts/build_wheel.py: Verify fingerprint generation, source-directory tracking, marker persistence after successful CMake configuration, reconfiguration for changed or missing markers, and explicit configuration modes.
  • tests/unittest/others/test_build_wheel_reconfigure.py: Covers fingerprint and reconfiguration decision paths with CPU-only unit tests. It is not listed in tests/integration/test_lists/ because it is a unit-test module.

Walkthrough

The build script now fingerprints effective CMake configure arguments with SHA-256, compares fingerprints for reused build directories, reconfigures when they differ, and stores successful fingerprints. CPU-only tests validate fingerprint generation, storage, and decision behavior.

Changes

CMake configuration fingerprinting

Layer / File(s) Summary
Fingerprint helpers
scripts/build_wheel.py, tests/unittest/others/test_build_wheel_reconfigure.py
The script canonicalizes CMake arguments, retains the last definition for each -D key, preserves exact duplicate order, and hashes compact JSON. Tests validate ordering, digest output, serialization, and stored fingerprint handling.
Automatic reconfiguration flow
scripts/build_wheel.py, tests/unittest/others/test_build_wheel_reconfigure.py
The build flow compares current and stored fingerprints, reconfigures reused builds when fingerprints are missing or changed, preserves explicit configure-mode behavior, and writes the fingerprint after successful configuration. Tests cover these decisions.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Changing a user CMake override can reuse a build directory configured with different effective options, producing an incorrect wheel. Correct the fingerprint ordering before merge; add the failure-path test to preserve fingerprint state guarantees.

Test the reconfiguration decision through main.

test_stored_fingerprint_round_trip only tests fingerprint file I/O. It does not call scripts/build_wheel.py:main, so it cannot detect regressions in reused-build comparison, configure_cmake selection, CMake invocation, or post-configure persistence. Add focused mocked main tests for changed, unchanged, and absent fingerprints. Also verify that a failed configure does not persist the new fingerprint.

Coverage summary: The module adds six helper tests for fingerprint ordering, changes, format, and stored-file handling. The main flow and persistence failure path remain uncovered. No integration test-list entry applies. Coverage verdict: insufficient.

scripts/build_wheel.py:1124-1129
🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Invalidate the configure fingerprint before reconfiguration. build_run uses subprocess.run(..., check=True), so a failed explicit or configure-only CMake command raises before the new fingerprint is written. The old fingerprint remains. A later ordinary invocation with the same arguments can skip configuration and run cmake --build . against the failed or incomplete state.

Invalidate the marker with a non-empty value that cannot match a SHA-256 digest before build_run(cmake_configure_command). Write the new fingerprint only after that call succeeds. Do not only delete the marker or write an empty value, because the current reuse logic treats both as no stored fingerprint and does not force reconfiguration.

stored_configure_fingerprint() returning None currently suppresses comparison, so any pre-existing build directory created before this change still has the original bug on its first flag change. For example, adding --nvrtc_dynamic_linking to an old configured build skips CMake because no marker exists. Please treat a missing fingerprint in an already-configured build as requiring one configure/seed, and add a migration regression.

Include the resolved CMake source directory in the fingerprint.

An explicit build_dir can be reused across checkouts while venv_python and the other fingerprinted arguments remain equal, such as with a shared build_root or --no_venv. The -S "{source_dir}" value still changes. The fingerprint mismatch is then missed, and cmake --build . uses the CMake build tree and source recorded from the previous checkout.

Add the resolved source directory to the fingerprint.

"""``build_wheel.py`` must reconfigure when its cmake arguments change.

The cmake configure step is skipped unless ``--clean``/``--configure_cmake``
is passed or the build dir is fresh, so changing a configuration-affecting
flag (``--cuda_architectures``, ``--nvrtc_dynamic_linking``,
``--extra-cmake-vars``) used to silently build the OLD configuration. The
fix fingerprints the configure arguments into
``.cmake_configure_args.sha256`` inside the build dir and forces a
reconfigure when the fingerprint changes.

Test the automatic reconfiguration flow.

All nine tests call fingerprint helpers directly. They can pass if main() never forces configuration after a mismatch or never stores the fingerprint after successful configuration.

Add CPU-only tests for these cases:

  • Matching fingerprints skip configuration.
  • Different fingerprints force configuration.
  • Missing fingerprints preserve the existing skip behavior.
  • --configure_cmake remains an override.
  • Successful configuration writes the fingerprint.
  • Failed configuration does not write it.

Coverage summary: This new file adds nine tests for fingerprint canonicalization, digest compatibility, serialization, and stored-value handling. Integration test-list entries are not expected for this unit test. The main reconfiguration and persistence behavior remains untested. Coverage verdict: insufficient.

As per path instructions: “Prefer behavior and contract coverage over raw line coverage.”

Pre-existing configured build directories are the important migration case here, but this guard means their first configuration-affecting flag change still skips CMake because they have no marker yet. The marker is then only created after some later explicit configure. Could we treat a missing marker in an already-configured build directory as requiring one configure and cover that migration path? I think this is required for this PR.

build_wheel.py runs the cmake configure step only on --clean,
--configure_cmake, or a fresh build dir. Changing a
configuration-affecting flag (--cuda_architectures,
--nvrtc_dynamic_linking, --extra-cmake-vars, ...) on an
already-configured build dir therefore silently built the OLD
configuration; nothing invoked --configure_cmake automatically.

Fingerprint the configure-affecting arguments (sorted, sha256) and
record the digest in .cmake_configure_args.sha256 inside the build dir
after each configure. When the recorded fingerprint differs from the
current one, force a reconfigure and print the old/new digest prefixes.
Build dirs configured before this change have no recorded fingerprint
and keep the previous skip behavior until their next configure records
one. --configure_cmake still works as an explicit override; no new
flags.

The test is only reachable through the `unittest/others` wildcard on the
l0_cpu stage, which runs `-m cpu_only`. conftest.py's pytest_ignore_collect
drops any test file lacking the `pytest.mark.cpu_only` marker on that stage,
so without the mark this file was collected on no CI stage and never ran.
Add the module-level marker matching the sibling CPU tests.

separator in the previous join(sorted(args)) fingerprint (e.g.
["-DNCCL_ROOT=x\n-DNIXL_ROOT=y"] and ["-DNCCL_ROOT=x", "-DNIXL_ROOT=y"]
hash the same), which would skip a required reconfigure. Serialize the
sorted list as JSON so a separator can't be forged from a value.

Strengthen the digest test to a golden hex literal instead of a hex-shape
check, so a change to the serialization strategy fails loudly rather than
silently invalidating stored fingerprints, and add a collision regression.

Sorting the raw configure arguments before hashing collapsed cmake's
last-wins semantics: two argument lists that differ only in the order of a
repeated -DKEY=value (hence in the effective value cmake caches) produced
the same fingerprint, so the stale-configuration guard could skip a real
reconfigure. Reachable via --extra-cmake-vars, whose expansion also went
through set() and so reordered duplicate keys nondeterministically.

Fingerprint the effective configuration instead: keep only the last -D
definition of each cache variable (order-insensitive for the rest), and
dedup --extra-cmake-vars order-preservingly so last-wins is deterministic.
Add duplicate-key coverage.

… build dirs

Two gaps in the stale-configuration guard, both from review:

- The fingerprint omitted the CMake source directory, so an explicit
  build_dir reused across checkouts (shared build_root, --no_venv) with every
  other argument equal but a different -S would miss the change and build the
  previous checkout's sources. Include -S in the fingerprint.

- A build dir configured before fingerprinting has no marker, and the guard
  treated a missing marker as keep-skipping, so its first flag change still
  skipped cmake. Extract the decision into configure_reason() and treat a
  missing marker on an already-configured dir as one required reconfigure that
  records a marker.

Add CPU tests for the source-dir fingerprint and the reconfigure decision
(match skips, mismatch and missing force, explicit modes deferred to caller).

Use the CMake command order for the fingerprint input. The configure command places built-in definitions before cmake_def_args, so a user definition such as -DBUILD_PYT=OFF overrides the built-in value. The fingerprint currently places cmake_def_args first, so its last-definition logic gives the built-in value precedence. The fingerprint can therefore remain unchanged when the effective CMake configuration changes.

Construct the fingerprint input in command order, with built-in definitions before cmake_def_args. Add a regression test where a user definition overrides a built-in definition, such as BUILD_PYT=OFF.

104-169: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add an entrypoint-level failure-path test.

The current tests call configure_reason() directly and manually write the fingerprint file. They do not exercise the automatic path in scripts/build_wheel.py, where build_run(cmake_configure_command) runs before the fingerprint is written.

Add a test that makes build_run fail and asserts that no fingerprint file exists. Without this test, moving the write before build_run would pass all current tests.
