rose stem tests failing

[Carol Halliwell (cehalliwell)]

I created an LFRic branch at vn1.1 and, before implementing any code changes, I followed instructions in

GhaspSupport/PhysicsHandsOn – LFRic

and ran the developer group rose stem tests via:

rose stem --group=developer

Many of the tasks in BUILD failed as well as several others.

I repeated the branch creation and check out (just in case!) and, once again, tried to run the above rose stem test. This time, I got the following error message:

WorkflowFilesError: Nested run directories not allowed - cannot install workflow in '/home/h03/apcr/cylc-run/vn1.1_1DTKE_LFric/run1' as '/home/h03/apcr/cylc-run/vn1.1_1DTKE_LFric' is already a valid run directory.

I feel like I might be missing an important step(s). I haven't made any code changes yet. Can anyone advise? Thanks

First branch is: https://code.metoffice.gov.uk/svn/lfric_apps/main/branches/dev/carolhalliwell/vn1.1_1DTKE_scheme
Second branch is: https://code.metoffice.gov.uk/svn/lfric_apps/main/branches/dev/carolhalliwell/vn1.1_1DTKE_LFric

Hi,

I'm not sure how up to date the instructions in that physics hands on page are. There are full development practices available here now, and this specifically is for running the LFRic Apps test suite https://metoffice.github.io/simulation-systems/WorkingPractices/TestSuites/lfric_apps.html

Most notably, the LFRic Apps rose-stem requires use of cylc 8 and the error you're seeing would suggest to me that you've run it once with cylc7 and once with cylc8 which generally get things confused. I'd clean up cylc-run/vn1.1_1DTKE_LFRic and have another go using cylc8 and see if that sorts it for you.

[Jenny Hickson (jennyhickson)]

I've just taken a look and the Physics Hands On page has had some recent updates, so should be good. Hopefully getting the right cylc version is all you need.

[Carol Halliwell (cehalliwell)]

Hi Jenny Hickson (@jennyhickson). I think the error message I posted was different to my initial failures - probably because I was using the wrong cylc version at some point.

Just to be on the safe side, I opened a new terminal, created a new branch, ran export CYLC_VERSION=8 and tried running the rose stem developer group tests. The build tasks are still failing though :-(

[Carol Halliwell (cehalliwell)]

These are the exact commands I used after opening a new terminal. The cylc version is shown to be 8.3.6 The same tasks fail every time I do this (mainly in BUILD). Am I missing a step to set something up before I run these commands?

James Bruten (@james-bruten-mo) ssh from where? Thanks
ssh vld417 works already without a password from VDI terminal and HPCs.

[James Bruten (james-bruten-mo)]

Just from your vdi command line

[Carol Halliwell (cehalliwell)]

Yes, this command already works without a password from vdi command line.

[Carol Halliwell (cehalliwell)]

Hi Andy, The relevant command in dependencies.sh is export lfric_core_rev=core1.1

Andrew Coughtrie (@andrewcoughtrie) what version should I be picking up? Is this correct?

[Andrew Coughtrie (andrewcoughtrie)]

It should pick up that one, I think the problem is more related to what James Bruten (@james-bruten-mo) mentioned.

[Carol Halliwell (cehalliwell)]

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions/help. Although I didn't solve this problem when using LFRic version 1.1, I am able to run rose stem tests at vn2.0 so will be using this version.
