Part of OpenMS/OpenMS#10327 (step C2).

Before: the build-openms job of build-windows-executable-app.yaml compiled OpenMS release/3.5.0 against the contrib archive with tools/ci/{cibuild,citest,cipackage}.cmake. It can't build OpenMS 3.6 or develop: those scripts were removed in OpenMS/OpenMS#9523, and contrib is being retired in favour of vcpkg.

After: the job calls a new reusable workflow, .github/workflows/openms-windows.yml (on: workflow_call). The workflow uploads the same artifact build-executable already consumes: openms-package, a zip of openms-package/{bin,share}. build-executable is unchanged. The six app repos can call it as OpenMS/streamlit-template/.github/workflows/openms-windows.yml@<ref>.

Modes

  • installer (default, used here for 3.5.0): finds the OpenMS GitHub release and downloads its Windows .exe with gh and github.token. It tries the tags v<ver> (the v* scheme release.yml uses from 3.6 on), then release/<ver>, then Release<ver>. The installer is installed silently (/S /allusers /D=…), with 7-Zip extraction as the fallback. Then bin/ and share/ are repackaged. No compile, no contrib, no Qt.
  • source: for FLASHApp, OpenDIAKiosk and other forks or branches. It checks out openms-repository@openms-ref with only the vcpkg and THIRDPARTY submodules, then runs vs-shell + Ninja and cmake --preset windows-x64-release with a TOPP-only set of options (WITH_GUI=OFF, ENABLE_DOCS=OFF, no tests). The optional vcpkg features match OpenMS's windows-x64-ci. It packages with CPack PACKAGE_TYPE=zip and uses THIRDPARTY as SEARCH_ENGINES_DIRECTORY. The vcpkg files binary cache and ccache are kept with actions/cache. The job fails with a clear message if the sources have no vcpkg presets: that means 3.6+, or develop from about 2026-08 on. A fork of an older develop must rebase first.

In both modes, the kept tools are filtered by topp-tools (each listed tool must exist). The job then checks that share/OpenMS/THIRDPARTY/* is present and not empty, because the app's .bat puts those folders on PATH. It adds any MSVC/OpenMP runtime DLL the package lacks, and runs <tool> --help for each kept tool with a bare system PATH, so a DLL missing from bin/ fails the job. The inputs are openms-version, mode, openms-repository, openms-ref, topp-tools, artifact-name and runs-on, documented in docs/openms-windows-workflow.md.

Changes to this repo's workflow

  • Removed: the contrib download and cache, OPENMS_CONTRIB_VERSION, the Qt install, THIRDPARTY setup, and the cibuild/citest/cipackage steps. OPENMS_VERSION moves into the call's with: block as openms-version: "3.5.0", because with: of a reusable-workflow call can't read env. A tiny config job passes TOPP_TOOLS through as an output, so it stays defined in one place.
  • Tests: the old job ran the OpenMS class and TOPP tests on every PR. Installer mode doesn't, because the official installers are already tested upstream. What remains is the --help smoke test above.

Validation

Installer mode, in this PR's Build executable for Windows run: the OpenMS 3.5.0 installer installed silently without the 7-Zip fallback. FeatureFinderMetabo, FeatureLinkerUnlabeledKD and SiriusExport passed --help with a bare PATH. The artifact is 224 MB. build-openms takes about 1.5 min, and build-executable then built the MSI unchanged in about 7 min.

Source mode against OpenMS develop, on windows-2025 with the same three tools. It ran from a temporary workflow on this branch only, never on PRs, removed in 39a1989 (run 36548083206, attempt 1 cold, attempt 2 warm). Both attempts passed the smoke test and produced a 205 MB artifact.

Other commits

Decisions for a maintainer

  • Stable ref for the apps. The docs recommend pinning a commit SHA or a tag, not @main. If you want a tag, the apps need one to point at, e.g. a moving openms-windows-v1. I have not created one.
  • Default runner is windows-2025 (OpenMS's own CI runner). build-executable stays on windows-2022.

Overlap with open PRs (not modified)

All of these edit build-windows-executable-app.yaml, and whichever merges second needs a rebase:

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added a reusable Windows workflow to package OpenMS tools from a release installer or source build. Packages can include selected tools and are checked before upload.
  • Documentation
    • Added guidance on workflow modes, inputs, prerequisites, package contents, and setup.
    • Updated the Windows executables feature description and clarified evaluation-tool information.

… build

Add .github/workflows/openms-windows.yml (workflow_call). Installer mode
repackages bin/ and share/ of the official OpenMS Windows installer; source
mode builds a branch or fork with the vcpkg preset windows-x64-release and
CPack ZIP. Both upload the openms-package artifact build-executable already
consumes, after a --help smoke test of the kept TOPP tools.

build-windows-executable-app.yaml now calls it in installer mode for 3.5.0,
dropping contrib, the Qt install and the cibuild/citest/cipackage steps.

A temporary workflow exercises source mode against OpenMS develop on this
branch; it is removed before review.

main (a9a3c7a) is red on Pylint (probe.py E1136) and on the
assert-invariants doc-link check, independently of this PR. This is the
change of #408, verbatim, so this PR's CI can go
green; it no-ops once #408 is merged.

Pylint / build and Build and Test / assert-invariants failed on 1e7d90d, but those failures aren't from this PR. main (a9a3c7a) is red on both checks:

  • Pylint flags .claude/skills/interview-parameters/probe.py:297 (E1136).
  • assert_doc_links_resolve reports dangling .md references in .claude/skills/* and CLAUDE.md:280.

#408 fixes both. I ported its change verbatim in 6b68902, and it becomes a no-op once #408 merges. I ran pylint --errors-only and assert_doc_links_resolve locally and both pass.

Build and Test / test-nginx (simple, arm64, ubuntu-24.04-arm) failed on 6b68902. The cause is a race in the kind test's "Install nginx ingress controller" step, which this PR doesn't touch (it changes only the Windows workflows and docs):

kubectl apply -f .../ingress-nginx/controller-v1.15.1/.../kind/deploy.yaml   # 10:19:33.459 last object created
kubectl wait --namespace ingress-nginx --for=condition=ready pod --selector=app.kubernetes.io/component=controller --timeout=90s
error: no matching resources found                                             # 10:19:33.505

kubectl wait --selector fails immediately when no pod matches yet. The dump 0.3 s later shows ingress-nginx-controller-… as Pending, so the controller pod was created just after the wait gave up. I know of no open fix for this. I'll re-run the failed job once when this run completes.

Proposed patch (not applied here, to keep this PR on topic). A Deployment exists as soon as apply returns, so wait on its rollout rather than on pods selected by label:

-          kubectl wait --namespace ingress-nginx --for=condition=ready pod --selector=app.kubernetes.io/component=controller --timeout=90s
+          kubectl rollout status --namespace ingress-nginx deployment/ingress-nginx-controller --timeout=90s

Source mode ran against OpenMS develop on this branch: cold 2h50m (vcpkg
dependencies 1h23m, OpenMS compile 1h24m), warm 8m12s. The temporary
workflow that ran it is no longer needed.

Build and Test / build-simple-amd64 failed on 39a1989, at Dockerfile_simple:39: wget -q https://github.com/conda-forge/miniforge/releases/latest/download/Miniforge3-Linux-x86_64.sh exited with 8. That's wget's code for a server error response. The failure isn't this PR's:

  • this PR doesn't touch Dockerfile_simple;
  • 39a1989 only deletes the temporary source-mode workflow and edits a doc;
  • the same image built green on 6b68902.

The failure is an upstream download and happened before any test ran. No fix is needed in the repo. I'll re-run the job once when the run completes.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request adds a reusable Windows OpenMS workflow with installer and source-build modes. It updates the executable workflow to call it, adds packaging and smoke-test steps, and documents its inputs and artifact. It also updates Markdown link checks and a pylint annotation.

Changes

Windows OpenMS packaging

Layer / File(s) Summary
Workflow inputs and installer mode
.github/workflows/openms-windows.yml
The reusable workflow declares its inputs and output, validates the selected mode, and locates and installs or extracts a Windows release asset.
Source checkout, build, and staging
.github/workflows/openms-windows.yml
Source mode checks out a ref, validates the vcpkg setup, restores caches, configures and builds OpenMS, then stages the CPack ZIP output.
Shared package validation and upload
.github/workflows/openms-windows.yml
Both modes stage binaries and share data, validate selected tools and third-party engines, run a help smoke test, and upload the ZIP artifact.
Caller integration and workflow documentation
.github/workflows/build-windows-executable-app.yaml, .github/workflows/openms-windows.yml, CLAUDE.md, README.md, docs/openms-windows-workflow.md
The executable workflow passes inputs to the reusable workflow. README and project documentation describe the call, modes, inputs, and artifact.

Markdown reference updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Reference resolution and documentation
.github/scripts/ci-assertions.sh, CLAUDE.md, docs/notebook-to-webapp-design.md
The link assertion checks additional reference locations. Documentation replaces references to evaluation files and clarifies that those files are absent from checkouts.

Lint annotation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Comparison lint annotation
.claude/skills/interview-parameters/probe.py
The existing comparison receives a pylint suppression; its condition and behavior are unchanged.

A rabbit watched the Windows build,
As tools were packed and checked.
A ZIP emerged with bins and share,
Its contents neatly decked.

ci-assertions.sh: a reference that resolves only relative to its citing
file's directory now has to resolve for every file citing it, not just for
one; the failure names only the citing files that do not resolve it. This
exposed three skill references that pointed at scaffold-workflow-app/ files
from another skill's directory; they now name that directory.

openms-windows.yml: the source ref and the release tag and asset names reach
the run scripts through env instead of ${{ }} expansion, so a ref containing
$(...) or backticks is never evaluated by bash.
