Add check to see if gridpack was used and if the grid pack is provided
I was wondering how to catch such cases and avoid having pipeline jobs running for 1h and failing without apparent reason. We would need an indicator in log.generate that a gridpack was used.
I don't see PowhegConfig.gridpack printed in the log that Olga provided. I see
16:47:17 Py:PowhegControl INFO | powheginput keyword use-old-grid set to 1.0000000000000000
Does this tell us whether a gridpack was used?Comment by @fsiegert
Hi @sargyrop,
I think there are things which we'll never be able to catch if requesters modify the DSID directory before submitting but after having run the evgen test. This is not only relevant for gridpacks, but also potentially removing include files etc. So I wouldn't put too much effort into catching these cases if it's not easy.
We just need to educate users that they:
run the evgen test in a clean working directory should not modify the DSID directory before submission Best, Frank
I think this is a pretty straightforward check: if ((gridpack used) && ! (gridpack present)) then ERROR So I am only asking how to specify (gridpack used)
Comment by @amoroso :
I wonder if we couldn't catch case 2 within the CI. We could add a checksum to the DSID directory to the Gen_tf output, and have a pipeline check that the checksum in the attached logfile and the one recomputed by the CI are the same.
cheers, Simone
Solution for Madgraph
GRID presence can be identified by lines like:
06:17:07 Py:MadGraphUtils INFO Generating events from gridpack
