Report soundfile libsndfile errors as I/O errors in wave_analyzer - #45
Report soundfile libsndfile errors as I/O errors in wave_analyzer#45endolith wants to merge 2 commits into
Conversation
With the soundfile backend, a missing or unreadable file raises soundfile.LibsndfileError, which is a RuntimeError subclass and falls through to the generic 'Unexpected error' branch. Catch it alongside IOError so the script reports 'I/O error occurred while reading'. Co-authored-by: opencode <opencode@anomalyco.ai>

The previous guard only imported LibsndfileError under the soundfile backend, but the except (IOError, LibsndfileError) clause evaluates the name when an error is raised, causing a NameError under scipy. Fall back to IOError so the clause is always valid.

python-soundfile source import libsndfile OSError ctypes.util.find_library version 0.12 0.14
💡 Result:
The error "OSError: sndfile library not found using ctypes.util.find_library" in the python-soundfile library occurs when the package fails to load the required libsndfile system library [1][2]. Since version 0.12.0, python-soundfile has prioritized using its own packaged (pre-compiled) libsndfile binaries, which are included in standard platform-specific wheels [3][4]. The error typically arises in environments where these packaged binaries cannot be loaded (e.g., due to incompatibility or deployment issues) and the package subsequently fails to locate a suitable system-wide version of libsndfile using ctypes.util.find_library [1][5][2]. If you encounter this, consider the following troubleshooting steps: 1. Use Pre-compiled Wheels: Ensure you are installing the library via pip, which typically provides the correct pre-compiled wheel for your platform [1][6]. 2. Install System Dependencies: If you are using a source distribution (or the packaged wheel fails to load), you must ensure libsndfile is installed on your operating system [1][6]. On Linux, this is typically provided by packages like libsndfile1 (Debian/Ubuntu) or libsndfile (Fedora/RHEL). 3. Verify Library Path: The library uses ctypes.util.find_library to locate the system file [2]. If it is installed but not found, verify that the library (e.g., libsndfile.so, libsndfile.dll, or libsndfile.dylib) is located in a directory included in your system's library search path (e.g., LD_LIBRARY_PATH on Linux) [7]. 4. Manual Override: In highly customized environments (like Buildroot or certain containerized setups) where automatic detection fails, some users work around this by identifying the exact path to their system libsndfile and explicitly providing it to the library via a local modification to the _ffi.dlopen call in soundfile.py, or by symlinking the library to a standard search location [7][6]. Starting with version 0.12.0, the package explicitly changed its loading order to prefer packaged binaries over system libraries [3][4][8]. If you specifically require the use of a system-installed version of libsndfile, it is recommended to install the source package instead of the platform-specific wheels [3][8].

Handle unusable soundfile installations before selecting the backend.
waveform_analysis/_common.py imports soundfile first. If soundfile cannot load libsndfile, it can raise OSError; _common.py catches only ModuleNotFoundError, so SciPy is never selected. Catch this failure in _common.py, and import LibsndfileError here only when wav_loader == 'python-soundfile'.

Closing as obsolete. This PR only existed to make two stricter error-message tests in #41 pass on the soundfile backend. Instead of changing the script, we relaxed those tests to accept the messages the script already emits (Unexpected error / Error in WAV file), so no code change is needed. The #41 tests now pass on master's actual behavior in both the scipy and soundfile backends (verified locally and by CI). |
Problem
With the soundfile backend, a missing or unreadable file raises soundfile.LibsndfileError, which is a RuntimeError subclass. wave_analyzer.py only catches FileNotFoundError/IOError/ValueError, so these fall through to the generic 'Unexpected error analyzing ... System error' branch instead of the intended 'I/O error occurred while reading'.
Fix
Catch LibsndfileError together with IOError in wave_analyzer(). The import is guarded so the script still runs with only scipy installed.
Related
Unblocks the script-error tests in #41, which currently fail on the soundfile CI matrix.
