#1342: list-simulations shows queued simulation as "finished" -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: hinder | Owner: eschnett Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: SimFactory | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: -------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
Comment (by eschnett):
We can change the names, but the state of a simulation is either "active" or "inactive", and if it is active, it is either "queued", "running", or "finished".
"Cleanup" is a safe operation. It can be applied at all times, and does nothing if it can't be applied. If you look at a simulation that has not been cleaned up, then you are not guaranteed that the files are accessible -- this is also a bad idea. The only problem with cleanup is that the queuing system doesn't offer a hook where it is guaranteed to run, thus Simfactory has to run it manually after the fact.
We should probably replace the "finished" by "presubmitted".
