Common Tasks

常见任务

1. Creating a New Recipe

1. 创建新Recipe

When creating a new conda recipe:
  • Create
    recipes/<package-name>/meta.yaml
    with proper structure
  • Include
    build.sh
    (for Unix) and/or
    build.bat
    (for Windows) if needed
  • Set appropriate build number (start at 0)
  • Use proper Jinja2 templating for variables like
    {{ name }}
    and
    {{ version }}
  • Include sha256 checksum for source URLs
  • Specify correct dependencies in
    host
    ,
    build
    , and
    run
    sections
  • Add proper test section with imports and/or command tests
  • Include comprehensive about section with license, summary, description, URLs
创建新conda recipe时:
  • 创建结构规范的
    recipes/<package-name>/meta.yaml
    文件
  • 如有需要,添加
    build.sh
    (适用于Unix系统)和/或
    build.bat
    (适用于Windows系统)
  • 设置合适的构建编号(从0开始)
  • {{ name }}
    {{ version }}
    等变量使用正确的Jinja2模板语法
  • 为源URL添加sha256校验和
  • host
    build
    run
    部分指定正确的依赖项
  • 添加包含导入和/或命令测试的测试部分
  • 添加包含许可证、摘要、描述、URL等信息的完整about部分

2. Recipe Structure Best Practices

2. Recipe结构最佳实践

  • Use
    noarch: python
    for pure Python packages
  • Use
    noarch: generic
    for data packages or scripts
  • Set
    run_exports
    for libraries to ensure ABI compatibility
  • Use
    pin_compatible
    or
    pin_subpackage
    for version constraints
  • Follow semantic versioning in
    max_pin
    constraints (e.g., "x.x", "x")
  • 纯Python包使用
    noarch: python
  • 数据包或脚本使用
    noarch: generic
  • 为库设置
    run_exports
    以确保ABI兼容性
  • 版本约束使用
    pin_compatible
    pin_subpackage
  • max_pin
    约束遵循语义化版本(例如:"x.x", "x")

3. Linting Recipes

3. 检查Recipe

Before building, always lint recipes from the root of the repo:
bash
bioconda-utils lint recipes/ --packages <package-name>
构建前,请始终在仓库根目录下检查recipe:
bash
bioconda-utils lint recipes/ --packages <package-name>

4. Building Recipes Locally

4. 本地构建Recipe

Build and test recipes locally:
bash
undefined
本地构建并测试recipe:
bash
undefined

Build for current platform

为当前平台构建

conda mambabuild recipes/<package-name>
conda mambabuild recipes/<package-name>

Or using bioconda-utils

或使用bioconda-utils

bioconda-utils build --packages <package-name>
undefined
bioconda-utils build --packages <package-name>
undefined

5. Testing Recipes

5. 测试Recipe

  • Always include test commands in meta.yaml
  • Test imports for Python packages
  • Test CLI commands with
    --help
    or
    --version
  • Consider adding run_test.sh for complex test scenarios
  • 始终在meta.yaml中包含测试命令
  • 测试Python包的导入功能
  • 使用
    --help
    --version
    测试CLI命令
  • 复杂测试场景可考虑添加run_test.sh

7. Version Pinning

  • Use
    >=
    for minimum versions
  • Use specific pins like
    >=1.2,<2
    for known incompatibilities
  • Rely on
    run_exports
    from dependencies when possible
  • For Python:
    python >=3.9
    or
    python >=3.9,<3.13
  • 最低版本使用
    >=
  • 已知不兼容情况使用特定约束,如
    >=1.2,<2
  • 尽可能依赖依赖项的
    run_exports
  • Python版本:
    python >=3.9
    python >=3.9,<3.13

9. Debugging Build Failures

9. 构建失败调试

  • Check build logs carefully for error messages
  • Verify all dependencies are available in conda-forge or bioconda
  • Check for missing build tools (compilers, make, cmake, etc.)
  • Verify source URL is accessible and checksum matches
  • For Python packages, ensure pip, setuptools are in host dependencies
  • 仔细检查构建日志中的错误信息
  • 验证所有依赖项是否可在conda-forge或bioconda中获取
  • 检查是否缺少构建工具(编译器、make、cmake等)
  • 验证源URL是否可访问且校验和匹配
  • Python包需确保pip、setuptools在host依赖项中

10. Common Build Errors and Solutions

10. 常见构建错误与解决方案

Error:
pin_subpackage
with wrong package name
ValueError: Didn't find subpackage version info for 'processcuration', which is used in a pin_subpackage expression.
Solution: Use the correct package name variable in
pin_subpackage
:
yaml
run_exports:
  - {{ pin_subpackage(name, max_pin="x") }}
Not a hardcoded string that doesn't match the package name.
Error: Conflicting build script and meta.yaml
CondaBuildException: Found a build.sh script and a build/script section inside meta.yaml.
Solution: Choose one approach:
  • Either remove the
    build.sh
    file and use inline
    script:
    in meta.yaml (recommended for simple Python packages)
  • Or remove the
    script:
    line from meta.yaml and keep the
    build.sh
    file
For simple Python packages, use inline script:
yaml
build:
  script: {{ PYTHON }} -m pip install . --no-deps --no-build-isolation -vvv
Error: Docker file sharing on macOS
The path /opt/miniconda3/envs/build_recipes/conda-bld is not shared from the host and is not known to Docker.
Solution: Configure Docker Desktop file sharing:
  1. Open Docker Desktop
  2. Go to Settings → Resources → File Sharing
  3. Add
    /opt
    to the list of shared directories
  4. Click "Apply & Restart"
Error: Build skipped for osx-arm64
BUILD SKIP: skipping recipes/vgp-processcuration for additional platform osx-arm64
Solution: This is expected for local builds without Docker. Use one of these approaches:
  • Use
    --docker --force
    flags to build in Linux container:
    bioconda-utils build --docker --force --packages <package>
  • Accept that
    noarch: python
    packages are typically built on Linux in CI
  • Let CircleCI handle the build when you push to GitHub
错误:
pin_subpackage
使用错误的包名
ValueError: Didn't find subpackage version info for 'processcuration', which is used in a pin_subpackage expression.
解决方案:
pin_subpackage
中使用正确的包名变量:
yaml
run_exports:
  - {{ pin_subpackage(name, max_pin="x") }}
不要使用与包名不匹配的硬编码字符串。
错误:构建脚本与meta.yaml冲突
CondaBuildException: Found a build.sh script and a build/script section inside meta.yaml.
解决方案: 选择其中一种方式:
  • 移除
    build.sh
    文件,在meta.yaml中使用内联
    script:
    (推荐用于简单Python包)
  • 或移除meta.yaml中的
    script:
    行,保留
    build.sh
    文件
对于简单Python包,推荐使用内联脚本:
yaml
build:
  script: {{ PYTHON }} -m pip install . --no-deps --no-build-isolation -vvv
错误:macOS上Docker文件共享问题
The path /opt/miniconda3/envs/build_recipes/conda-bld is not shared from the host and is not known to Docker.
解决方案: 配置Docker Desktop文件共享:
  1. 打开Docker Desktop
  2. 进入 设置 → 资源 → 文件共享
  3. /opt
    添加到共享目录列表
  4. 点击“应用并重启”
错误:osx-arm64平台构建被跳过
BUILD SKIP: skipping recipes/vgp-processcuration for additional platform osx-arm64
解决方案: 这是本地构建未使用Docker时的预期情况。可选择以下方式之一:
  • 使用
    --docker --force
    参数在Linux容器中构建:
    bioconda-utils build --docker --force --packages <package>
  • 接受
    noarch: python
    包通常在CI的Linux环境中构建
  • 推送代码至GitHub后由CircleCI处理构建

11. Docker Builds

11. Docker构建

Building with Docker tests packages in a Linux environment, which is important for
noarch
packages:
bash
undefined
使用Docker构建可在Linux环境中测试包,这对
noarch
包至关重要:
bash
undefined

Basic Docker build

基础Docker构建

bioconda-utils build --docker --packages <package>
bioconda-utils build --docker --packages <package>

Docker build with mulled tests (container tests)

带mulled测试的Docker构建(容器测试)

bioconda-utils build --docker --mulled-test --packages <package>
bioconda-utils build --docker --mulled-test --packages <package>

Force build even on incompatible platforms

强制在不兼容平台构建

bioconda-utils build --docker --mulled-test --force --packages <package>

**Docker Build Process:**
1. Downloads/uses bioconda build environment Docker image
2. Mounts recipe directory and build cache into container
3. Runs conda-build inside Linux container
4. Optionally runs mulled tests in separate containers

**Requirements:**
- Docker Desktop must be running
- File paths must be shared with Docker (especially `/opt` on macOS)
- Sufficient disk space for Docker images (~3-11 GB)
bioconda-utils build --docker --mulled-test --force --packages <package>

**Docker构建流程:**
1. 下载/使用bioconda构建环境Docker镜像
2. 将recipe目录和构建缓存挂载到容器中
3. 在Linux容器内运行conda-build
4. 可选:在独立容器中运行mulled测试

**要求:**
- Docker Desktop必须处于运行状态
- 文件路径必须与Docker共享(尤其是macOS上的`/opt`)
- 有足够的磁盘空间存储Docker镜像(约3-11 GB)

12. Working with CircleCI

12. CircleCI使用

Bioconda uses CircleCI for continuous integration:
  • Recipes are automatically built and tested on push
  • Check
    .circleci/config.yml
    for CI configuration
  • Review build artifacts and logs on CircleCI dashboard
  • Failed builds will prevent PR merging
Bioconda使用CircleCI进行持续集成:
  • 推送代码时会自动构建并测试recipe
  • 查看
    .circleci/config.yml
    了解CI配置
  • 在CircleCI仪表板查看构建产物和日志
  • 构建失败会阻止PR合并

Bioconda-Specific Guidelines

Bioconda特定指南

  • Follow the bioconda contribution guidelines
  • Add yourself to
    recipe-maintainers
    in the extra section
  • Use appropriate channels order: conda-forge > bioconda > defaults
  • Tag recipes appropriately for bioinformatics domains
  • Ensure license is specified and license file is included
  • 遵循bioconda贡献指南
  • 在extra部分将自己添加到
    recipe-maintainers
  • 使用正确的通道顺序:conda-forge > bioconda > defaults
  • 为生物信息学领域的recipe添加合适标签
  • 确保指定许可证并包含许可证文件
