I want to add a task to the ACCESS-CM2 job. I want to configure this task using environment variables.
I’m setting the variables in the configuration like this:
$ cat roses/u-cw525/app/update_sst/rose_app.conf
[env]
SOMEVAR=SOMETEXT
But when I run it, the variable is not set. I don’t find any good documentation on environment variables in rose/cylc either. Can someone tell me how to do this?
Thank you
Environment variables set in a rose app file are used when you use rose task-run to execute the task. Rose will set up the environment variables, create files, then run the command specified in the [command] section of the config file.
You’ve not specified [command] in your file, so I assume you’re not running with rose task-run?
No, I’m trying to really understand rose/cylc but I don’t find more than the most cursory of documentation. The tutorials on the metoffice’s website are fine, but they don’t go into that much detail. There’s a cylc documentation but it doesn’t talk about rose at all.
They’re both separate projects, rose is built on top of Cylc. Try the rose tutorial
Thank you, bookmarked and I’ll read through it.
