Isis3: spiceinit web=yes fails with ISIS 4.0.0

[foobarbecue]

ISIS version(s) affected: 4.0.0

Description
I ran spiceinit from=M1192901040LE.cub web=yes (M1192901040LE.cub is an LROC NAC image produced from running lronac2isis on http://lroc.sese.asu.edu/data/LRO-L-LROC-2-EDR-V1.0/LROLRC_0024/DATA/ESM2/2015211/NAC/M1192901040LE.IMG ) and got this error:

**ERROR** The Spice Server was unable to initialize the cube. The error reported was: The SPICE server only supports Isis versions greater than or equal to 3.5.*.*.Your version: [4.0.0 | 2020-02-07] is not compatible.

How to reproduce
See Description.

Previously, https://github.com/USGS-Astrogeology/ISIS3/pull/780 . Looks like the fix wasn't general enough -- it only checks the minor version (y in x.y.z) .

[jlaura]

We will need to slot this into the next RC release (April 1) or get a more generalized fix in before hand time permitting.

@scsides Is it possible that @kaitlyndlee or @paarongiroux could take a look at this without causing issues during the clean up work? If this will cause a slippage on that work, we should defer fixing this.

[scsides]

Sure, lets talk with @jessemapel and @Kelvinrr about what implications this has for the ALE side (I don't know of any at this time.)

[jessemapel]

This shouldn't impact ALE. spice server just runs spiceinit on our server. The new table data is also compatible with the old table data and visa-versa. The main place that out of sync ISIS versions will be a problem is when camera model versions have changed. I think we've only really changed one or two camera model versions in the last few years so it shouldn't be a big concern.

spiceinit web=yes fails with ISIS 4.0.0

[acpaquette]

@Kelvinrr Can this be closed?

[jessemapel]

This is still failing. @Kelvinrr Did the server get updated?

[michaelaye]

Still failing with 4.0.1:

$ spiceinit from=/cabeus/maye/p4/ctx_data/P4_Ridges_joint_search1/T01_000885_1910_XI_11N335W/T01_000885_1910_XI_11N335W.cub web=true
ERROR The Spice Server was unable to initialize the cube. The error reported was: The SPICE server only supports Isis versions greater than or equal to 3.5...Your version: [4.0.1 | 2020-03-04] is not compatible.

Is there a quick work-around available?

[jessemapel]

@michaelaye Quick work around is to edit the version file located at $ISISROOT/version. If you change its version to 3.12.0 then it should work. You may get some weird side-effects with ASP and your cube history/print.prt will list the wrong version, but it should process correctly.

[volcanopele]

Can confirm that this is still an issue with ISIS 4.1.0

[AndrewAnnex]

just ran into this issue also

[AndrewAnnex]

@jessemapel what issues will ASP run into with this hack?

[rbeyer]

Should be none, ASP doesn't do anything with the contents of the version file.

[Kelvinrr]

spice server should be updated @foobarbecue try again and report if you get an error still.

[Kelvinrr]

I have not been able to replicate the issue since the update yesterday so I am going to consider this closed. If anyone discovers otherwise feel free to re-open.

Have the same problem with version 4.3.0.

[jessemapel]

@nschorgh Your error is likely the same as #4179. We're working on a solution for it now.

[nschorgh]

This works now. Thanks!
