<p>Comment (by Roland Haas):</p>
<p><span class="ap-mention" data-atlassian-id="557058:1671c5c3-29cc-4e83-9850-a152d33a6235">@Steven R. Brandt</span> also came across this issue of <code>sourcebasedir</code> not being set when running <code>sim setup-silent</code> on known machines and in a directory different from what simfactory has in its machine database (private communication). </p>
<p>This ticket may serve as a catchall to collect discussion and possible patches. </p>
<p>The issue does not occur in the “official” workflow (see SF paper: <a data-is-external-link="true" href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/1008.4571" rel="nofollow">https://arxiv.org/pdf/1008.4571</a> page 4, “A. Managing Source Code“), which would avoid ever running <code>sim setup</code> on the cluster (and never run <code>GetComponents</code> there either).</p>
