[ATR-20486][ATR-20616] Abort TriggerConfigGetter if doTrigger gets changed to False half way through by TriggerConfigCheckMetadata (!28354) · Merge requests · atlas / athena

Tim Martin requested to merge tamartin/athena:extraProtectionTriggerConfigGetter into master Nov 28, 2019

See https://its.cern.ch/jira/secure/EditComment!default.jspa?id=2163100&commentId=2970953 for a detailed description.

The recent change !28326 (merged) to always producing the xAOD::TriggerMenu when writing a POOL file (if the input file did not have it) has shown up some misconfigured jobs which have doTrigger=True, but contain no trigger data, nor the ability to generate any.

While the misconfigured jobs should start setting doTrigger=False, we can add extra protection on the trigger side too.
