#886: SimFactory does not correctly detect a failed submit command ------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- Reporter: hinder | Owner: eschnett Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: SimFactory | Version: Keywords: | ------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- If qsub can't be found, simfactory doesn't notice that the command returned a nonzero exit code, and proceeds to return 0 itself. The submit command is in simrestart.py:

{{{ output = simlib.ExecuteCommand(submitCommand, output=True) }}}

This should check that the exit code is zero, or fail noisily. What it actually does is

{{{ fd = os.popen(command) output = fd.read() fd.close()

return output }}}

Apart from the weird reuse of the output input argument as a return value for something else, it is not checking the exit code in the case where the output was requested.
