the user guide does not explain how to use ENV in parfiles (at least grep
ENV doc/UsersGuide/*.tex does not find anything) nor do the peg files in
src/piraha/peg contain.

#1759: need tensorparity=-1 for WeylScal4::curvIi_group and curvJi_group
------------------------------------+---------------------------------------
Reporter: physicsbeany@… | Owner: Bernard Kelly
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: minor | Milestone: ET_2014_11
Component: EinsteinToolkit thorn | Version: development version
Keywords: weylscal4, parity |
------------------------------------+---------------------------------------
The WeylScal4 gridfunctions curvIi and curvJi are pesudoscalars with the
same parity properties as Psi2r and Psi2i. However, they're currently
assigned no tensorparity attribute, so they're treated as scalars.
As a result, for a z-aligned Kerr BH (EinsteinInitialData/IDAnalyticBH)
evolved with reflection symmetry across the x-y plane, an interpolation of
curvIi to a coordinate sphere will yield different values for the z<0
points than the same data on a full grid.
Can we set "tensorparity=-1" for both these groups, to fix this issue?

#382: SimFactory home directory on Kraken is too specific

Reporter: hinder | Owner: mthomas

------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
The mdb entry for Kraken in SimFactory has
'sourcebasedir' => '/nics/b/home/@USER@',
My home directory is
'/nics/d/home/@USER@'
Either we could leave the source base dir as unset to force the user to
set it, or we could automatically detect the location of the user's home
directory (better).

#960: Dissipation thorn schedules LOCAL routines after GLOBAL ones
----------------------------------------------+-----------------------------
Reporter: rhaas | Owner:
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: minor | Milestone:
Component: EinsteinToolkit thorn | Version:
Keywords: Dissipation and SphericalSurface |
----------------------------------------------+-----------------------------
Dissipation currently contains a schedule item {{{
SCHEDULE setup_epsdis AT cctk_poststep after SphericalSurface_HasBeenSet
{
LANG: C
SYNC: epsdisA_group
} "Setup spatially varying dissipation"
}}}
However SphericalSurface_HasBeenSet is AFTER SphericalSurface_Set which is
a GLOBAL routine. Since GLOBAL routines run last in POSTSTEP (which is in
EVOL) the AFTER modifier is ignored for all but the last (finest)
refinement level. This can lead to the wrong surface shape to be used by
the local routines.
It might actually make sense to teach the flesh about GLOBAL/LOCAL etc and
refuse AFTER/BEFORE statements that span different modes. This of course
depends on how much work this is and if we expect the dependency and task
based scheduler to be finished soon and if there are legitimate uses for
AFTER/BEFORE to span modes.

Formaline assumes that configurations are stored in a "configs"

#1595: Is {{{*)}}} allowed as upper boundary for a parameter range?
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
Reporter: eschnett | Owner:
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: minor | Milestone:
Component: Cactus | Version: development version

I sometimes see these warnings when Cactus starts:
{{{
WARNING[L1,P0] (Cactus): Invalid end of real-valued parameter range; range
descriptor is "(0.0 : *)" (value is 1)
}}}
Presumably the warning depends on which thorns are active.
This warning looks as if the syntax {{{*)}}} was accepted by the CST when
parsing a param.ccl file, but was later not recognized by the flesh when
checking a parameter value against this range. (The flesh uses HUGE_VAL as
fallback, which happens to be correct in this case.)

#584: Use of uninitialized value in concatenation
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
Reporter: hinder | Owner: eschnett
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone:
Component: SimFactory | Version:
Keywords: |
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
After failing to check out a thornlist (the current einsteintoolkit.th)
the automated build and test system re-runs GetComponents with --update.
On 27-Sep-2011, this gave the error:
{{{
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at
./GetComponents line 2514.
}}}
This line seems to be
{{{
$url = "(".$component{"URL"}.")|(".$component{"AUTH_URL"}.")";
}}}
Is the problem that SimFactory doesn't have an AUTH_URL?
I'm attaching the log of the testsuite script. I don't know if the error
is serious or not, since the checkout has already failed.

#1689: Cactus should exit with a nonzero exit code if an error occurs
--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
Reporter: hinder | Owner:
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: minor | Milestone:
Component: Cactus | Version: development version
Keywords: |
--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
In WarnLevel.c, in CCTK_VWarn (called by CCTK_Warn), it says
if (level <= error_level)
{
CCTK_Abort (NULL, 0);
}
The second argument to CCTK_Abort is the exit code of the process. So if
there is an "error" warning, the process exits with 0 exit code; i.e.
success! This happens in several places in this file.
The user guide does not say anything about the exit code of Cactus. I
think that if Cactus has a level-0 warning, i.e. an error, then it should
exit with a non-zero exit code, and Erik agrees.

The Cactus User Guide
(http://einsteintoolkit.org/documentation/UsersGuide/UsersGuidech9.html#x13-…)
recommends that test output files should always be the same, and hence use
IO::out_fileinfo = "none". I would like to implement this for the tests
in the ET, as it makes comparing test output using standard (non-Cactus
testsuite mechanism) diff tools possible.

#1631: The dgfe branch for McLachlan generates NaNs
-----------------------------------------------------------+----------------
Reporter: Jonah Miller <jonah.maxwell.miller@…> | Owner: eschnett
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: optional | Milestone: ET_2014_11
Component: EinsteinToolkit thorn | Version: development version
Keywords: dgfe,mclachlan,gamma driver |
-----------------------------------------------------------+----------------
When one uses the gamma driver formulation in the dgfe branch of McLachlan
and sets the shiftGammaCoefficient to zero, the runtime output has NaNs
because the code divides by zero.
A bit of flow control fixes this. Attached is a patch for the branch.
