[Users] HelpEinsteinToolkit: "required key: user"

[Roland Haas]

Hello J.,

it would seem that there is a broken simnfactory machine file somehwere
in your setup. 

When you said you reinstalled the Einstein Toolkit, did you completely
remove (as in "rm -r Cactus") everything then start from scratch or was
anything transferred?

In the error message you quote is it really "[name]" or something else?

If you are running this on a Mac then please try and re-run
"simfactory/bin/sim setup-silent" since Mac OS will create a changing
machine name when it derives it from the wifi IP address which could
possibly cause such an issue.

You may also check the file simfactory/etc/defs.local.ini for any
incomplete setting and (if you did not completely wipe everything)
check the simfactory repository:

cd repos/simfactory2

git status -u

for changed and new files.

Yours,
Roland

> Dear users of Einstein Toolkit,

> I'm a pregraduated student in University of Valencia (Spain) and I'm using Einstein Toolkit for the first time (I used the stand-alone version of RNS inside ET but I had not big problems with it) as part of a schollarship I got this year.
> 
> When I tried to run a simulation, ET returned an error which said that "consts.h" (located in ET/Cactus/arrangements/EinsteinInitialData/Hydro_RNSID/src/include) was missing. However, this file actually exists and it is located in that same directory. The error was something like this:
> 
> rnsid_util.o  fatal error
> 
> #include "consts.h" The file consts.h does not exist or cannot be read.
> 
> It was not exactly like this message, but it was quite similar.
> 
> After many tries without solving this problem, I tried reinstalling the Einstein Toolkit (now I have 2) and it did not appear again, so it might be an installation error or something similar. However, now ET returns another error (actually, the machine in which I'm working is the one which returns the error, but it is from something missing in ET, not the machine). The error it returns is:
> 
> Error: machine [name] is missing a required key: user
> 
> Aborting Simfactory.
> 
> And I have tried almost everything I know to solve it. I also spoke to some colleagues here that also use ET but all the files we compared were identical (except for the initial path to Einstein Toolkit and the username). We thought it could have something to do precisely with the username, but we changed it several times and we could not fix the error.
> 
> As I still have both versions of ET (one with each error), any help with each of the errors will be much appreciated.
