`SUMMA` crashes when paths in `fileManager` text file miss `/` at the end

Bug Report

Apparently, SUMMA crashes when the paths in the fileManager text file miss the / at the end. The error I receive is the following:

$ ./summa.exe -g 93 1 -m ./settings/fileManager_1month.txt > ./answers/1.1.1.run.txt
Note: The following floating-point exceptions are signalling: IEEE_INVALID_FLAG
STOP 1

This normally shouldn't happen. I guess.

Here is the setting file for fileManager that I am using:

Can you send the output from executing this without redirecting output into another file?
We see the error message but not what leads up to it. I don't think it has crashed, but rather trapped the error (such as file not found) and stopped. e.g., run: ./summa.exe -g 93 1 -m ./settings/fileManager_1month.txt

Thank you Andy, and sorry for the oversight in documenting the error message. I have pasted the error in the following:

It seems that the fileManager you shared does have the final / in forcingPath. Did you already fix this after running into the error, or is there some sort of odd bug where it eats the final / in the path?

forcingPath          '/work/TALC/enci619.05_2024w/hpc_forcing/' !  forcing path

Expecting the final / has been default behaviour for a long time. I imagine it's not hard to check for this and append a / if needed.

[kasra-keshavarz]

Sorry for the inconsistency, I revised my first post. It should be accurate now.

[andywood]

Wouter is correct, this works as expected -- SUMMA doesn't crash, it exits. The error message shows you that you should put the '/' at the end of the directory path in the fileManager. It's a convention, although if someone wanted to they could easily add some code to include a '/' on the end of whatever is entered in the directory path names or with slightly more effort check to see if a '/' exists first.
