#1690: The test system should treat a nonzero exit code from Cactus as a failure ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Reporter: hinder | Owner: Type: defect | Status: confirmed Priority: major | Milestone: Component: Cactus | Version: development version Resolution: | Keywords: ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
Comment (by knarf):
It should be possible, with most of the MPI implementations at least, to get a non-zero exit code from a dying simulation. It might not be the one actually triggering the crash, but it would likely be non-zero, and mpirun is probably unlikely to return non-zero for a succeeding run. Detecting this would be good.
Still, in addition I don't see the harm to generate a "sentinel" file that is only created after Cactus successfully reaches TERMINATION. We could (and, if this works, should) then test for both.
