Problem when running old benchmarks in Oceananigans about sparsearrays.jl

[SobhanMP]

What version of Julia are you using?

[francispoulin]

Using 1.10.0

[ViralBShah]

Can you provide the exact way you check out Oceananigans, and the set of commands you run that produces that?

[francispoulin]

I decided to start from scratch as best i could

I first deleted my .julia file, hoping for a clean start. When I start julia there is nothing in my status. When I go into Oceananigans/benchmarks, I see there is stuff in my status, see below.

I start by doing instantaite but it seems to have some difficulties, as you can see below.

  151 dependencies successfully precompiled in 96 seconds. 8 already precompiled.
  2 dependencies had output during precompilation:
┌ LLVM
│  WARNING: could not import LLVMExtra_jll.libLLVMExtra into API
└  
┌ BFloat16s
│  WARNING: could not import Printf.ini_hex into BFloat16s
│  WARNING: could not import Printf.ini_HEX into BFloat16s
└  
  48 dependencies errored.
  For a report of the errors see `julia> err`. To retry use `pkg> precompile`

Maybe this is a problem with how Oceananigans has the benchmarks set up?

Anyhow, from Oceananigans/benchmarks I try running one of the examples and that's when I get an error about SuiteSparse_jll. See below for the beginning part.

julia> include("benchmark_shallow_water_model.jl")
Precompiling BenchmarkTools
        Info Given BenchmarkTools was explicitly requested, output will be shown live 
ERROR: LoadError: ArgumentError: Package SparseArrays does not have SuiteSparse_jll in its dependencies:
- You may have a partially installed environment. Try `Pkg.instantiate()`
  to ensure all packages in the environment are installed.
- Or, if you have SparseArrays checked out for development and have
  added SuiteSparse_jll as a dependency but haven't updated your primary
  environment's manifest file, try `Pkg.resolve()`.
- Otherwise you may need to report an issue with SparseArrays
Stacktrace:

Sorry for the mess but I hope this is reproducable by others.  I tried this on two different machines and found the same errors.

And I did try `resolve` and that didn't do much but showed the following information,

(Benchmarks) pkg> resolve

Manifest files are tightly coupled with the Julia version that produced them. You have to either:

• Use the same Julia version that produced the manifest
• Tweak the CUDA compat here: https://github.com/CliMA/Oceananigans.jl/blob/d83a3f7aa21c463fc0cf2f930395cec05e014e74/benchmark/Project.toml#L25 to something that allows the same CUDA that Oceananigans itself uses and then resolve

Thanks @fredrikekre .

As pointed out here , I was in dependency hell. I removed some and added them back in and now evertyhing seems to be running normally.
