Error when running through Slurm

Hi all,

I'm using OpenFOAM-5.x on a Scientific Linux cluster. Everything works fine, I can run simulations no problem, but when I try running a job through Slurm, I get this error:

Code:

/opt/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-5.x/etc/config.sh/bash_completion: line 6658: `_rm~all_': not a valid identifier

I noticed that this error has been reported as a bug, and fixed in both OpenFOAM-5.x and OpenFOAM-dev (https://bugs.openfoam.org/view.php?id=2823). Does anyone have any idea why it still pops up when using Slurm, and how to fix this?

Many thanks!
Sita

P.S. For now I've removed the _rm~all_ bit from bash_completion, which rids me of the error, but I'm not sure whether this will get me into trouble at some later point

Quick answer: It looks like your OpenFOAM 5.x installation isn't based on the most recent commits, because the bug report you mentioned is implying that it was fixed in this commit: https://github.com/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM...a32d2a2deca208 - in which, yes, the "rm~all" script was simply removed, along with the associated auto-completion entry.

Thanks! To be honest, I don't know what commit that OpenFOAM-5.x install was based on, as I didn't install that one myself. But it looks like I can safely do without this script, great.

The help argument with any OpenFOAM application should give the build with version and commit that was used to build things, e.g.:

Code:

blockMesh -help | grep Build

With luck you get something like this:

Code:

Build: 5.x-68e8507efb72

but if it was downloaded as a ZIP package, you will only get something like this:

Code:

Build: 5.x

It should also appear on the header of the runs, e.g.:

Code:

Cool, never really noticed that before, I'll give it a try.
Thanks!
