#305: Machine entry in defs.local.ini but not in mdb leads to bad error message ------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- Reporter: hinder | Owner: mthomas Type: defect | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: SimFactory | Version: Keywords: | ------------------------+--------------------------------------------------- If I have an entry for my local machine in defs.local.ini but I do not have an mdb file for it, I get the following error:

MacBook:llama ian$ sim2 sync datura Error: required key basedir in section macbook is missing

This does not tell me what the problem is. I would expect to get the same error as when the section is not present:

MacBook:llama ian$ sim2 sync damiana Unknown machine name macbook Info: Simfactory command: simfactory2/bin/../lib/sim.py "sync" "damiana" Info: Version 1230 The Simulation Factory: Manage Cactus simulations
