issue with open files #157

Closed jdomke closed 7 months ago

jdomke commented 7 months ago

running bin/benchpark setup while packages.yaml is opened in vim results in problems for ramble -P -D ...

==> Error: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xb3 in position 17: invalid start byte

It seems that some vim temp files are used in the background. When I close the file and run ramble -P -D ... again i get a new error pointing to some .swp file from vim:

==> Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/vol0005/mdt3/data/ra000020/u10016/benchpark/test.gnu/amg2023/openmp/RCCS-Fugaku-Fujitsu-A64FX-TofuD/workspace/configs/auxiliary_software_files/.packages.yaml.swp'

@jdomke The bin/benchmark setup step creates a symlink to all the config files including configs/RCCS-Fugaku-Fujitsu-A64FX-TofuD/auxiliary_software_files/.packges.yaml.swp (which will be present is the packages.yaml is opened in vim). If between bin/benchmark setup and ramble -P -D ..., the vim temp file gets deleted, we get the No such file or directory error. The workaround is to remove the symlink /vol0005/mdt3/data/ra000020/u10016/benchpark/test.gnu/amg2023/openmp/RCCS-Fugaku-Fujitsu-A64FX-TofuD/workspace/configs/auxiliary_software_files/.packages.yaml.swp @pearce8 @scheibelp We should exclude non-config files from symlink creation in bin/benchmark setup
