Python problem with RNS, task install_glm_startdata

Atmosphere Regional Nesting Suite
1

I have been working with a copy of Regional Nesting Suite by395, (my de207). I had an initial attempt working cleanly earlier this week, but have had problems since the NCI issues yesterday (timing might be a coincidence).

The task install_glm_startdata now fails, with the following from job.err:

Additionally, the failure is not being reported back to cylc, with the task status remaining as ‘submitted’ despite the failure.

Any help appreciated!

Hi Matt,

I usually run an “install_ec_startdata” RNS suite.

Last week I had problems with suites that used to run suddenly not running and got around it by rebuilding the executable. Do you want to try that?

The other question is what commands do you run to set up your environment?

I use:

Hope that helps somewhat.

We’ve been getting reports of strange python failures today specifically on copyq, I wonder if that’s related. Could be something weird with the disks

Hi Chermelle, Scott,

Thanks for the suggestions!

I tried using express rather than copyq, and the task ran cleanly and also reported back to cylc gui the correct status of the task (which wasn’t happening before). So I think we have our culprit: problems with copyq.

Cheers,
Matt
