I am running an automated build and test system every night which attempts
to check out the Einstein Toolkit thornlist. Every night, I get error
messages from at least one thorn of the form:
Checking out module: CactusNumerical/Cartoon2D
from repository:
http://svn.cactuscode.org/arrangements/CactusNumerical/Cartoon2D/trunk
into: ./arrangements
svn: REPORT of '/arrangements/CactusNumerical/Cartoon2D/!svn/vcc/default':
Could not read response body: connection was closed by server.
(http://svn.cactuscode.org)
Typically, three or more thorns will exhibit this problem. All the
following repositories have exhibited this problem since 11th January
2011:
CactusArchive/ADM
CactusElliptic/EllBase
CactusNumerical/Cartoon2D
CactusNumerical/Dissipation
CactusNumerical/InterpToArray
CactusNumerical/RotatingSymmetry180
CactusNumerical/RotatingSymmetry90
EinsteinInitialData/Exact
EinsteinInitialData/IDAnalyticBH
EinsteinInitialData/TOVSolver
EinsteinInitialData/TwoPunctures
LSUThorns/QuasiLocalMeasures
manifest
simfactory
I assume that there is some problem with the SVN server or our network
connection to it that is making it so unreliable. Am I the only one?

#317: Unproper bevaviour of sim submit when changing the parfile
----------------------------------------------+-----------------------------
Reporter: alexander.beck-ratzka@… | Owner: mthomas
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone:
Component: SimFactory | Version: ET_2010_11
Keywords: |
----------------------------------------------+-----------------------------
If I make changes to the parfile of my simulation, and call then
simfactory submit with the option --parfile=newpar, simfactory does not
take this parfile. Instead of this, simfactory uses an old parfile from
the old output-xxxx directory in my simualations direrctory.
This usage of the old parfile might be wished. However, if this is the
case, simfactory must complain if invoked with the option "parfile=...".
But simfactory does not complain.
In my case, the parfile has been modfied, but I am using the same name.

#123: Run a syntax checker in a pre-commit hook

I am getting annoyed by the frequent syntax errors in SimFactory that used
to be caught by Perl and are now not caught by Python. It would be ideal
if syntax checking could be built into SimFactory, so that it executes
automatically during startup if that isn't too slow.

#124: Implement a testing mechanism for simfactory
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Reporter: hinder | Owner: mthomas
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone:
Component: SimFactory | Version:
Keywords: |
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Currently there is no easy way to check that a change to simfactory hasn't
broken critical functionality. A system could be introduced to run
through each command and check that it does the right thing. It won't be
possible to check every single combination of possible options, but the
most commonly used options should be tested.
A first attempt could involve testing that the commands work locally on
the current machine. This would involve submitting jobs and testing that
they have the expected behaviour. On busy machines, this means that the
tests could potentially take a long time to complete.
Remote submission could be tested by running these tests from a central
location (e.g. the developer's workstation or laptop).
We could also include a python correctness checking step in these tests
(e.g. using pychecker or pylint).

#180: Reduce disk space used by checkpoints
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Reporter: hinder | Owner: mthomas
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone:
Component: SimFactory | Version:
Keywords: |
-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Currently simfactory stores the checkpoints for each restart in their own
directory. This means that the Cactus mechanism for deleting all but the
most recent N checkpoints does not see the previous checkpoints. This
means that you can easily run out of quota space when doing very long
simulations.
One solution to this would be for SimFactory to store the checkpoints in a
directory above the output-NNNN directories and make the current
checkpoints directories under output-NNNN symbolic links to the common
directory. This way, all restarts would see the same directory for
checkpoint files, and Cactus could clean up the old checkpoints. The
current hardlinking mechanism would not be required any more. This
solution might be undesirable because it means that each restart is no
longer independent.
Another solution would be to give simfactory an option to delete old
checkpoint files from previous restarts when a job starts. This would
duplicate the functionality already available in Cactus.

#285: python simfactory submit does not remove active link after job execution
has finished
----------------------------------------------+-----------------------------
Reporter: alexander.beck-ratzka@… | Type: defect
Status: new | Priority: major
Milestone: | Component: Other
Version: | Keywords:
----------------------------------------------+-----------------------------
The python version of simfactory does not remove the active link
output-xxxx-active
in the simulation directory, after a job has finished.
As a consequence the next submit fails with the error message, that more
then one active link has been found. Removing the link manually enables a
poper submit of the next job. The problem occurs on a lustre file system.

The attached patch modifies the parameter file parser to accept comments
in multi-line strings. These comments extend from a "#" character to the
end of the line. This makes it much easier to comment out variables in
output strings.

#349: pyc files when syncing
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
Reporter: barry.wardell | Owner: mthomas

---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
When I use 'sim sync' to copy files to a machine, it often rsyncs several
.pyc files in the SimFactory directory. This happens every time I sync
after running a simfactory command on the remote machine. I think these
files should probably be excluded from the sync process.
