import astroray resolves inside build/ rather than the project root. - Use Case: A test fix appears to do nothing and failure output is identical to before the edit; run this Skill to clear the stale project-root .pyd, rebuild, and verify the new binary loads. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run /rebuild-pyd and specify whether you want the standalone, cuda, or blender variant rebuilt.High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
A stale .pyd copy outside the build directory is shadowing the fresh binary on sys.path. The project-root copy wins because tests insert the project root after build/, so the old binary loads and produces frozen output.
First enumerate every astroray*.pyd with Get-ChildItem, delete copies outside build/, build_cuda/, build_tcnn/, and the Blender staging directory, then rebuild with the appropriate CMake preset and verify the artifact timestamp is fresh.
Yes, since issue #780 the Blender variant builds with OpenMP ON. The historic hang was a GIL/OpenMP circular wait fixed by releasing the GIL across the CPU render, and build_blender_addon.py bundles vcomp140.dll next to the .pyd.
Run python -c with sys.path inserting build/ first, import astroray, and print astroray.__file__. The printed path must be inside build/ or build_cuda/; if it points to the project root, a shadow copy was missed.
Never run a recursive delete across the whole repo, because that removes the legitimate Blender addon staging copy in blender_addon/Release/ and the real build outputs. Only delete shadows at the project root, tests/, and non-staging Release/ paths.
