Writing an s4ext file

  • Extensions are described using a simple text file.
#
# First token of each non-comment line is the keyword and the rest of the line
# (including spaces) is the value.
# - the value can be blank
#

# This is source code manager (i.e. svn)
scm local
scmurl Testing/LoadableExtensionTemplate

# list dependencies
# - These should be names of other modules that have .s4ext files
# - The dependencies will be built first
depends NA

# homepage
homepage    https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Slicer4:Developers:Projects:QtSlicer/Tutorials/ExtensionWriting

# Match category in the xml description of the module (where it shows up in Modules menu)
category    Examples

# Give people an idea what to expect from this code
#  - Is it just a test or something you stand beind?
status      Beta

# One line stating what the module does
description This is an example of Qt loadable module built as an extension
  • This file will be automatically generated using information specified within your CMakeLists.txt

Testing your extension

  • An extension is a container for one or more modules, writing test shouldn't be different.

How users will access your extension

How to get started

  • Configure and build an extension
$ pwd 
/path/to/MyExtension
$ cd ..
$ mkdir MyExtension-build
$ cd MyExtension-build
$ cmake -DSlicer_DIR:PATH=/path/to/Slicer-build
$ make -j4


  • Test your extension and submit to CDash
$ make Experimental
  • Test, submit to CDash and upload your extension on Midas
$ make ExperimentalUpload
