No such file or directory: 'config.yaml' following the User Guide

Hi, I'm new to CABLE and working on introducing some urban component to CABLE. I was trying to run some example configurations to start following https://benchcab.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user_guide/.

I run the following command,

cd /scratch/$PROJECT/$USER git clone https://github.com/CABLE-LSM/bench_example.git module use /g/data/hh5/public/modules module load conda/analysis3-unstable cd benchcab benchcab run

The batch code seems to successfully check and build the model and submit batch job, but show the follow errors that crashed the PBS job.

Hi @jiachenlu95, benchcab will automatically find the configuration file when running from the bench_example work directory. I've managed to do a successful benchcab run with the following commands:

module use /g/data/hh5/public/modules
module load conda/analysis3-unstable
cd /scratch/$PROJECT/$USER
git clone https://github.com/CABLE-LSM/bench_example.git bench_example_tmp
cd bench_example_tmp
# Set fluxsite experiment to a single site for shorter runtime:
cat << EOF >> config.yaml
fluxsite:
  experiment: AU-Tum
EOF
benchcab run -v

Hi Sean,

Thanks for the help. I have managed to run the benchcab following your suggestion. Is it possible to update the tutorial page to include this with details? I guess it will be a lot easier for beginners to use benchcab.

Thanks, Jiachen

@jiachenlu95 No worries. I've made a separate issue (#277) to update the user guide to include my previous instructions. I will close this issue in the meantime.
