Summary

  • create standalone Holoscan Modules from the bundled public HoloHub template without a generated wrapper
  • vendor the reusable CMake support required by generated repositories
  • discover standalone Module roots and enforce their exact holoscan-cli requirement
  • preserve source-project template selection and safely populate empty or pre-cloned destinations

Validation

  • Code Check: Python 3.10–3.13, pre-commit, HoloHub wrapper integration, package builds, installed-artifact tests, and CPU/Docker smoke tests
  • local: 493 unit tests passed with 1 skipped; full lint and wheel-content validation passed

The public template was packaged by PR #224; this PR contains the standalone adaptations.

AI-assisted: Created with Codex/GPT at the user's request.

Walkthrough

The CLI now discovers project roots, creates standalone Modules from packaged templates, bundles CMake helpers, updates generated Module workflows and documentation, and validates wheel contents and command behavior.

Changes

Project-aware Module flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Project context and CLI dispatch
src/holoscan_cli/__main__.py, src/holoscan_cli/project_context.py, src/holoscan_cli/utils/*, src/holoscan_cli/metadata/utils.py, tests/unit/test_main.py, tests/unit/test_project_context.py
Global option parsing and project-root discovery were updated. Project context state and version enforcement were simplified. Text parsing and metadata path handling were expanded.
Module template resolution and materialization
src/holoscan_cli/commands/create.py, src/holoscan_cli/utils/filesystem.py, src/holoscan_cli/templates/module/cookiecutter.json, src/holoscan_cli/templates/module/hooks/*, tests/unit/test_create_module.py
holoscan create now resolves packaged templates, stages output, validates destinations, merges packaged CMake support, and initializes generated Modules.
Packaged CMake and Python build helpers
src/holoscan_cli/cmake/*, tests/unit/test_module_template.py
The package adds HoloHub CMake helpers, Debian packaging configuration, pybind11 module generation, Python initialization, and documentation macros.
Standalone Module scaffold and workflows
src/holoscan_cli/templates/module/{{cookiecutter.module_repo_name}}/*
Generated Modules update build commands, dependency installation, Docker configuration, CI workflows, Git utilities, copyright validation, metadata, and development documentation.
Build and test integration
src/holoscan_cli/commands/test_cmd.py, src/holoscan_cli/testing/container.ctest, src/holoscan_cli/setup_scripts/Dockerfile.util, tests/unit/test_lifecycle_commands.py
Test execution detects xvfb-run when enabled and preserves caller-provided CTest source directories.
Distribution validation
.github/CI.md, .github/scripts/assert_wheel_contents.sh, .github/workflows/main.yaml, README.md, pyproject.toml, tests/unit/test_package_data.py
Wheel checks and package metadata now include CMake and Module assets. Documentation and smoke tests use the updated installation and version checks.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 3152b

The PR adds standalone Module discovery and packaging, but malformed metadata in an implicitly discovered root could make unrelated commands fail, and the wheel-content check may miss a vendored holohub directory. These are bounded risks; the change is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up.

49-52: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Widen the forbidden holohub pattern to cover a directory entry.

unzip -l lists a directory as .../holohub/ and its members as .../holohub/<file>. Neither form matches holohub$, so only a file named holohub is caught. If a holohub directory is ever vendored into the template, this assertion passes. Remove the anchor to cover both forms.

Declare EXPORT_NAME as a one-value argument.

Line 58 uses ${ARG_EXPORT_NAME} as a single export set, and Config.cmake.in line 6 substitutes it into one file name. If a caller passes two values, install(EXPORT ...) and the generated include path are both malformed. Move EXPORT_NAME to oneValueArgs so cmake_parse_arguments reports the misuse.

Initialize missingArgs inside the function.

list(APPEND missingArgs ...) starts from whatever value the calling scope defines for missingArgs. A caller that uses the same variable name causes a false FATAL_ERROR here.

84-98: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Consider deferring project-context warnings out of import time.

Line 98 calls _get_holohub_root() while the module is imported. The function now prints one warn line per discovery issue. Every command that imports holoscan_cli.utils.holohub therefore prints these warnings, including commands that never use the root. Move the discovery and the warnings into a cached accessor so the messages appear only when a command needs the root.

♻️ Proposed lazy discovery
-HOLOHUB_ROOT = _get_holohub_root()

+        _HOLOHUB_ROOT = _get_holohub_root()
+    return _HOLOHUB_ROOT

Module-level users of HOLOHUB_ROOT (for example lines 108 and 349) must then call get_holohub_root().

12-13: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Note the stale-default risk for _holoscan_cli_version.

holoscan create always overrides _holoscan_cli_version with __version__, so the literal "4.5.0" here is used only when a caller runs cookiecutter directly. That value must be updated on every release, or a direct cookiecutter run writes a wrong CLI contract version into the Module. Consider a placeholder value that fails validation, for example "0", so a direct run cannot silently produce a wrong contract.

Inline comments:
In @.github/CI.md:
- Around line 270-272: Update the forbidden paths list in the CI documentation
to include holoscan_cli/templates/module/.+/holohub alongside the existing
holoscan_cli/testing/test_all_applications/ entry, matching the paths rejected
by assert_wheel_contents.sh.

In `@src/holoscan_cli/cmake/holohub_configure_deb.cmake`:
- Around line 63-70: Align configure_package_config_file and Config.cmake.in: in
src/holoscan_cli/cmake/holohub_configure_deb.cmake lines 63-70, remove
NO_CHECK_REQUIRED_COMPONENTS_MACRO so check_required_components is generated; in
src/holoscan_cli/cmake/Config.cmake.in lines 6-7, retain the existing
check_required_components(`@ARG_NAME`@) call because the macro will now be
available.

In `@src/holoscan_cli/cmake/pybind11_add_holohub_module.cmake`:
- Around line 103-120: Add a distinct build-tree library path to the _rpath list
in the pybind11 module RPATH setup, derived from the actual
${CMAKE_SUBMODULE_OUT_DIR} build layout and HOLOSCAN_INSTALL_LIB_DIR (defaulting
to lib), rather than using the install-tree relative path. Preserve the existing
install and wheel fallback entries.

In `@src/holoscan_cli/commands/create.py`:
- Around line 433-437: Update the CMake support copy block in the create flow to
run for every Module template by gating it on is_module rather than
use_packaged_template. Modify copy_cmake_support to merge into an existing cmake
directory by enabling copytree’s existing-directory behavior, while preserving
the current OSError handling and fatal message.

In `@src/holoscan_cli/project_context.py`:
- Around line 138-153: Guard the optional path serialization so unset values
remain null instead of becoming the string "None": update ProjectContext
serialization in src/holoscan_cli/project_context.py lines 138-153 for metadata
and requirements, and update requirements_file plus its prose rendering in
src/holoscan_cli/version/version.py lines 43-51 to handle a missing
context.requirements_path consistently.

In
`@src/holoscan_cli/templates/module/`{{cookiecutter.module_repo_name}}/.github/workflows/scripts/gitutils.py:
- Around line 121-127: Update changes_in_file_between to remove both branch
checkout calls and compare b1 and b2 directly through __gitdiff, preserving the
current branch and dirty worktree. Keep the existing diff arguments and file
filtering unchanged.
- Around line 95-110: Update uncommitted_files() to parse git status
--porcelain=v1 -z records, include non-ignored untracked files (??), and return
paths for every tracked modification state, including combinations such as AM;
preserve the existing filename extraction behavior while handling NUL-delimited
records safely.
- Around line 27-31: Update __git to invoke subprocess.check_output with a list
of Git arguments and shell=False, removing string command construction. Validate
dynamic refs and paths supplied by changed_files_between() and
changes_in_file_between() before passing them to Git, while preserving the
existing decoded, newline-trimmed output.

In
`@src/holoscan_cli/templates/module/`{{cookiecutter.module_repo_name}}/Dockerfile:
- Around line 26-29: Update the generated Dockerfile’s pip install command for
the CLI requirements to include the NVIDIA package index via an extra index URL,
ensuring prerelease pins can be resolved while preserving the existing
requirements file installation and Holoscan version check.

In `@src/holoscan_cli/templates/module/hooks/post_gen_project.py`:
- Around line 65-68: Update the generated run instruction in post_gen_project.py
to interpolate the existing LANGUAGE value instead of hardcoding “python” after
--language, so C++ modules emit the correct language variant while Python
modules remain unchanged.

142-147: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Scope the import_module patch to the Cookiecutter modules.

monkeypatch.setattr(create.importlib, "import_module", ...) replaces import_module on the shared importlib module, so every import in the process fails while the test runs. Any lazy import triggered inside fatal() or by a pytest plugin during that window raises ImportError instead. Raise only for the cookiecutter.* names and delegate the rest.

♻️ Proposed scoped patch
-    monkeypatch.setattr(
-        create.importlib,
-        "import_module",
-        lambda _name: (_ for _ in ()).throw(ImportError),
-    )
+    real_import_module = create.importlib.import_module
+
+    def fake_import_module(name, *args, **kwargs):
+        if name.split(".")[0] == "cookiecutter":
+            raise ImportError(name)
+        return real_import_module(name, *args, **kwargs)
+
+    monkeypatch.setattr(create.importlib, "import_module", fake_import_module)

Keep project context focused on root discovery and pre-import environment activation. Treat the exact CLI pin as installation guidance rather than a runtime compatibility gate, and remove duplicate project-version diagnostics.

122-127: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Strict Module metadata parsing at the discovered root can abort commands that do not need that metadata. _context always calls _read_module(root, strict=True), so a malformed metadata.json at the selected root raises ProjectContextError from every discovery path, including implicit ancestor discovery and lazy utility lookups.

  • src/holoscan_cli/project_context.py#L122-L127: allow _context to accept a strict flag, keep strict=True for explicit_root, and use strict=False for ancestor and metadata-fallback discovery.
  • src/holoscan_cli/utils/holohub.py#L92-L95: confirm that callers of the root accessor tolerate ProjectContextError, or resolve the root through the non-strict discovery path.
