Hi! I’m having the same issue as this post , but the solutions there are not working for me. I have been running with the new payu for a while, but this is the first time that payu does not recognise my archive directory where I have the restarts I want to continue my experiment from.. My working d…

Immediate fix [image] JuliaN: Payu is not finding the archive and creating this directory: /scratch/x77/jn8053/mom6/archive/panant-01-zstar-ACCESSyr2-spinup-events-panant-01-zstar-ACCESSyr2-spinup-events-55118948/ payu generates the archive directory by concatenating the control directory nam…

Also, payu statusdoesn’t work for me either (I read it here ) [jn8053@gadi-login-05 panant-01-zstar-ACCESSyr2-spinup-events]$ payu status usage: payu [-h] [--version] {archive,branch,build,checkout,clone,collate,ghsetup,init,list,profile,push,run,setup,sweep,sync} ... payu: error: argument {archive,…

Hi @JuliaN Can you paste the output of the following commands into a reply: which payu module list and when in your experiment control directory git branch -a Thanks.

Thank you Aidan! All great info. It’s more clear now. Re status, I thought the docs would correspond the latest version posted in this thread (and it also says payu 1.1.7 at the top of the docs page) so I guess that without browsing the PR’s in the github I wouldn’t have known that the 1.1.7 in the…

Yes it can be a little difficult to tell, but the docs do default to the most recent release (1.1.7) which is shown in the top left of the screen: [Screenshot 2025-10-28 at 11.08.07 am] and if you select “latest” it looks a little different: [Screenshot 2025-10-28 at 11.08.19 am] Where the vers…
