Enhance ViewerUSD to reuse existing USD layers for the same output path, preventing duplicate identifiers. Added unit test to verify this behavior.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Viewers targeting the same output path now reuse an existing layer instead of creating duplicates; when re-opened the existing layer is cleared so only the active viewer's contents remain, and the output file is preserved.
  • Tests

    • Added a test verifying that two viewers sharing an output path reuse the same layer, that the second viewer clears prior contents, and that the output file still exists.

…th, preventing duplicate identifiers. Added unit test to verify this behavior.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

ViewerUSD now stores output_path as an absolute path and changes USD stage initialization: if a root layer already exists for that path, the existing layer is cleared and opened; otherwise a new stage/layer is created. No public signatures changed.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
ViewerUSD Layer Reuse
newton/_src/viewer/viewer_usd.py
Store output_path as an absolute path; on init, check for an existing Sdf layer at that path — if present clear and open it, otherwise create a new stage with CreateNew.
Test Coverage
newton/tests/test_viewer_usd.py
Add test_reuses_existing_layer_for_same_output_path to verify two ViewerUSD instances with the same output_path reuse the same root layer, clear previous contents on reuse, and preserve the output file.

Pull request overview

This PR enhances ViewerUSD to handle scenarios where multiple ViewerUSD instances are created with the same output path within a single process. Instead of raising an error due to duplicate layer identifiers, the code now detects existing layers using Sdf.Layer.Find(), clears them, and reuses them. The PR also converts the output path to an absolute path to ensure consistent layer identification.

Changes:

  • Modified ViewerUSD.init to detect and reuse existing USD layers for the same output path
  • Converted output_path to absolute path to ensure consistent layer lookup
  • Added unit test to verify layer reuse functionality

195-199: os.path.abspath in close() is now redundant.

Since self.output_path is already absolute after line 104, wrapping it in os.path.abspath a second time is a no-op.

♻️ Proposed fix
-        if self.output_path:
-            print(f"USD output saved in: {os.path.abspath(self.output_path)}")
+        if self.output_path:

close() uses os.path.abspath unnecessarily because self.output_path was already
converted to an absolute path earlier; update the close() method (referencing
self.output_path in viewer_usd.py) to print the stored self.output_path directly
instead of wrapping it with os.path.abspath, and remove the redundant
os.path.abspath call so the message reads the existing absolute path.

109-117: existing_layer.Clear() silently invalidates any live ViewerUSD already using the same path — document this.

When a second ViewerUSD is initialised with the same output_path, existing_layer.Clear() wipes the underlying SdfLayer that the first viewer's stage is rooted at. Per the USD object model, the first stage immediately recomposes against the now-empty layer; any prims it cached in self._meshes, self._instancers, and self._points become stale references. Calling log_mesh / log_instances / log_lines on the first viewer after this point will silently author data under non-existent prims. Add a docstring note so callers are aware.

📝 Suggested docstring addition
         if Usd is None:
             raise ImportError("usd-core package is required for ViewerUSD. Install with: pip install usd-core")

+        # NOTE: If an Sdf.Layer for output_path is already live in the process
+        # (e.g. owned by another ViewerUSD instance), that layer is cleared and
+        # its owning stage is invalidated.  Do not continue using the previous

63-76: Strengthen test assertions and confirm the test fails without the fix (coding guidelines).

Two concerns:

  1. Regression verification — The coding guidelines require verifying a regression test fails without the fix before merging. There's no mention of this step having been performed. As per coding guidelines: "Always verify regression tests fail without the fix. When writing a regression test, temporarily revert the fix and run the test to confirm it fails, then reapply the fix and verify the test passes."

  2. Weak assertions — The test only checks that viewer2.stage is not None and the file exists. This passes trivially even if the reuse path is never taken. A stronger assertion would confirm the two viewers actually share the same underlying layer, which is the behaviour the PR claims to guarantee:

💡 Suggested additional assertions
     self.assertIsNotNone(viewer2.stage)
     self.assertTrue(os.path.exists(temp_file.name))
+    # Both viewers must be rooted at the same SdfLayer (the reuse guarantee).
+    self.assertIs(
+        viewer1.stage.GetRootLayer(),
+        viewer2.stage.GetRootLayer(),
+        "viewer2 must reuse viewer1's layer, not create a new one",

63-71: Optional: Extract shared temp-file setup to reduce duplication.

Lines 64–71 duplicate the pattern from _make_viewer (lines 33–38). You could factor out the temp-file-creation + cleanup into a small helper that returns just the path, then let both _make_viewer and this test call it. Not critical given only two call sites.

♻️ Sketch
+    def _make_temp_usda_path(self):
+        """Create a temp .usda file and register cleanup; return the path."""
+        temp_file = tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile(suffix=".usda", delete=False)
+        temp_file.close()
+        self.addCleanup(lambda: os.path.exists(temp_file.name) and os.remove(temp_file.name))
+        return temp_file.name
+
     def _make_viewer(self):
-        temp_file = tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile(suffix=".usda", delete=False)
-        temp_file.close()
-        self.addCleanup(lambda: os.path.exists(temp_file.name) and os.remove(temp_file.name))
-        viewer = ViewerUSD(output_path=temp_file.name, num_frames=1)
+        path = self._make_temp_usda_path()
+        viewer = ViewerUSD(output_path=path, num_frames=1)
         self.addCleanup(viewer.close)
         self.addCleanup(lambda: setattr(viewer, "output_path", ""))
         return viewer

Then in test_reuses_existing_layer_for_same_output_path:

     def test_reuses_existing_layer_for_same_output_path(self):
-        temp_file = tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile(suffix=".usda", delete=False)
-        temp_file.close()
-        self.addCleanup(lambda: os.path.exists(temp_file.name) and os.remove(temp_file.name))
+        path = self._make_temp_usda_path()
 
-        viewer1 = ViewerUSD(output_path=temp_file.name, num_frames=1)
+        viewer1 = ViewerUSD(output_path=path, num_frames=1)
