[ET Trac] [Einstein Toolkit] #998: The --define option does not work

#998: The --define option does not work ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Reporter: alibeck | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: Other | Version: Keywords: | ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ At a simfactory call it should be possible to define a value of a variable by setting

--define VAR=NEWVALUE

Them the variable @VAR@ in a run- or submitscript should be expanded to NEWVALUE.

Using define a shown above leads to the error:

[snip] sim.py: error: --define option requires 2 arguments [snip]

So I have tried also

--define VAR NEWVALUE

Using this --define in this way, the submission is successful, however @VAR@ is never evaluated by simfactory, so in the submit- and runscript @VAR@ instead of NEWVALUE can still be found.
