Using arch=ti.vulkan on iMac (2017, Intel) casuses no screenshots can be saved

imcom commented 2 years ago

Environment:

-> % python -V Python 3.9.12 taichi 1.0.0 numpy 1.22.3

Issue: Using the template to install and create the scene on my iMac (as above), the renderer works well but whenever I press p, there is no screenshots can be saved. I've got a minimum script to reproduce the issue

import taichi as ti
from renderer import Renderer
from taichi.math import vec3

VOXEL_DX = 1 / 64
SCREEN_RES = (1280, 720)
TARGET_FPS = 30
UP_DIR = (0, 1, 0)

def main():
    ti.init(arch=ti.vulkan)  # img can NOT be saved
    # ti.init(arch=ti.cpu)   # img can save
    renderer = Renderer(dx=VOXEL_DX,
                        image_res=SCREEN_RES,
                        up=UP_DIR,
                        voxel_edges=0.01,
                        exposure=1)

    renderer.background_color[None] = vec3(0.9, 0.3, 0.3)
    renderer.recompute_bbox()
    img = renderer.fetch_image()
    print(img)
    fname = "reproduce.jpg"
    ti.tools.image.imwrite(img, fname)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

With this script, I noticed that if the arch is set to ti.cpu for instance, the img can be written to FS. But with ti.vulkan, there is no image written.

P.S. If I change the arch to either cpu / gpu in the scene.py. Then the script will crash. Attached the crash log as bellow.

scene.py
-        ti.init(arch=ti.vulkan)
+        ti.init(arch=ti.cpu)

I dont' have a iMac at hand to reproduce this bug, have you tweaked with renders.py to see if some settings may have an effect on this behavier? For example change float to ti.f32 in this line? Though it's a very rare chance that this is the cause of the bug ...

Nope, I am not sure what params can/shall be tweaked :P, I will try the float -> ti.f32 tonight to see if the crash still happens

Hello! The imwrite issue is a bit weird. Can you try using an absolute path instead of relative for the file? As for the CPU backend / GGUI compatibility issue, it seems to be a bug for a while, we are still trying to figure out why, sorry for that!

Hello! The imwrite issue is a bit weird. Can you try using an absolute path instead of relative for the file? As for the CPU backend / GGUI compatibility issue, it seems to be a bug for a while, we are still trying to figure out why, sorry for that!

Using an absolute path works on my end! @neozhaoliang Can you simply use the absolute path for now (using os.path.join etc.)?

import taichi as ti
import numpy as np

ti.init(arch=ti.vulkan) # If not initializing with vulkan the program works

img = np.zeros((16, 16, 3))
ti.tools.image.imwrite(img, 'a.jpg') 
# ti.tools.image.imwrite(img, '/tmp/a.jpg')
# If using an absolute path, the program works

@imcom Updated the code by using the absolute path for imwrite. Could you please try the new code and see if the bug is fixed?

yuanming-hu commented 2 years ago

The problem still exists because ti.vulkan initialization changes cwd on Mac for some reason: https://github.com/taichi-dev/taichi/issues/4811 We need to fix that in Taichi to systematically address this issue.

Sry for the late reply

Turned out that it did generate images ... as yuanming said ... the cwd is not set properly ...

cuz once you print out the cwd ... I found this... lol

For a workaround, dirpath = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)) might be appropriate

This PR fixes the cwd problem. Please build from source again and see if it's fixed?
