5 years ago Made a few fixups, and this hasn't failed in 20+ builds now. I added an extra commit that also copies the include directory (https://github.com/nengo/nengo-loihi/pull/229/commits/bbd4fa56eae42d6d6e21e113881a46720e3aa3cc). As far as I can tell, this isn't needed (I never saw it fail without this commit). And I didn't do it before, because we don't know what is in that include directory, so it could be a potentially time-consuming operation to copy it all. But I added it in to be extra cautious; we could leave it in or take it out 🤷♂.
The only change from what we had before is that we now do the rendering of the snip template files in a temporary directory (to ensure we don't have multiple simulators trying to write to the same file). Ran the CI build a bunch of times (see https://travis-ci.com/nengo/nengo-loihi/builds) and didn't see any problems. Hard to say for sure with these race conditions, I'll keep running it some more, but seems good 🤷♂ .
