#2667: Test periodic_weight of CarpetReduce produces non numeric output in grid_coordinates.asc

Reporter: Roland Haas Status: new Milestone: Version: development version Type: bug Priority: major Component: EinsteinToolkit thorn

`.asc` files are registered with the test system (by the ASCII output thorn) as output files to be compared and must be columnar ASCII data files. However `periodic_weight` enables output for `grid_coordinates.asc` which do not adhere to that format and instead contain descriptions of the boxes:

```text # grid coordinates # format: map reflevel region mglevel bounding-box iteration 0 maps 1 0 mglevels 1 0 0 reflevels 1 0 0 0 regions 1 0 0 0 0 ([-2.6,-2.6,-2.6]:[2.4,2.4,2.4]:[0.2,0.2,0.2]/[0,0,0]:[0,0,0]/[26,26,26]/17576) ```

which causes the test system to complain:

```text Argument "([-2.6,-2.6,-2.6]:[2.4,2.4,2.4]:[0.2,0.2,0.2]/[0,0,0]:[0..." isn't numeric in subtraction (-) at lib/sbin/RunTestUtils.pl line 1920, <INNEW> line 8. ```

the testsuite should be changed to not output this file or give a different name that does not match one of the registered extensions.
