Image file locations do not persist in SPACK generated sessions #3614

Open sgpearse opened 6 months ago

sgpearse commented 6 months ago

To reproduce on Casper

  1. Module load vapor
  2. import any dataset, create an image renderer
  3. save session, close vapor
  4. open the session, and Vapor won't be able to find the image location

There seems to be a hash encoded in each SPACK instance that holds the path to or images directory. This changes each time VAPOR is run.

Potential solution: remove the file path to the image when we are using one of our default images, such as NaturalEarth.tms or BlueMarble.tms.

Related to #3628. Should go away once we use our normal AppImage installer.
