rocprof bash sets PATH to the wrong location, then fails to find rocminfo

[JonChesterfield]

Problem Description

The rocprof bash script installed under bin/rocprof sets path to export PATH=.:$PATH. I think this is intended to put the current directory on the path such that things like rocminfo can be found next to rocprof. That only works when running rocprof from the current directory.

/bin/sh: 1: rocminfo: not found
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/amd/rocm/aomp_19.0-2/libexec/rocprofiler/tblextr.py", line 1113, in <module>
    metadata_gen(sysinfo_file, "rocminfo")
  File "/home/amd/rocm/aomp_19.0-2/libexec/rocprofiler/tblextr.py", line 124, in metadata_gen
    raise Exception('Could not run command: "' + sysinfo_cmd + '"')
Exception: Could not run command: "rocminfo"

If this is changed to something like export PATH=$BIN_DIR:$PATH then rocprof successfully finds rocminfo.

Related, there's a error message that is intended to print when rocminfo is not found, instead of the above trace:

if !command -v rocminfo > /dev/null 2>&1 ;  then
  error "'rocminfo' utility is not found: please add ROCM bin path to PATH env var.";
fi

I don't believe that works as intended, adding parens would be one way to retrieve the nicer message

if !(command -v rocminfo > /dev/null 2>&1) ;  then
  error "'rocminfo' utility is not found: please add ROCM bin path to PATH env var.";
fi

Hi @JonChesterfield, are you still experiencing this issue with ROCm 6.2.0? I was not able to reproduce this following the steps you provided. From my understanding, when calling rocminfo or rocprof, the executable/script are found under /usr/bin which should be under your PATH. These files are symbolically linked to those found in /opt/rocm-6.2.0/bin and you should be able to call them regardless of which directory you are in.

export PATH=.:$PATH simply appends the current directory to PATH, the existing directories on PATH will still be checked, in this case /usr/bin.
