bug: gathering namelists required by a program appears to not be working

[kdraeder]

Describe the bug

1. List the steps someone needs to take to reproduce the bug.
   Run mkmf (quickbuild.sh filter is sufficient) in a {model}/work directory.
2. What was the expected outcome? There should be a file containing the {module}_nml namelists from all of the modules which were used to build the executable. It would be named input.nml.{executable}_default.
3. What actually happened?
   No collected namelist file appeared in the work directory. I'm able to make a file appear by adding ", q/.nml/" to @src_suffixes in mkmf.

Error Message

If .nml is added to src_suffixes, then 1) the build fails with "quad_utils_mod.nml: Permission denied Makefile:12: recipe for target 'quad_utils_mod.o' failed", or quad_utils is not available later when it's needed during the compiling model_mod.

2) the input.nml.{executable}_default file is created, but contains the contents of all of the .nml files in work, as well as the desired {component}_nml namelists. The resulting redundant _nml entries in input.nml should be avoided.

Which model(s) are you working with?

Version of DART

v9.8.0-3038-g8540de2c0, cloned from https://github.com/jlaucar/DART.git

Have you modified the DART code?

Yes, while trying to fix this (see above), but not otherwise. I did not find any tools (except mkmf) which could be used to collect _nmls.

Build information

Please describe:

1. The machine you are running on Cheyenne
2. The compiler you are using (e.g. gnu, intel).
   intel.linux (but it appears to be a mkmf functionality issue, not a compiler issue)

[hkershaw-brown]

just to clarify, this was closed because it is not reproducible, that is the .nmls are collected and output as input.nml_{executable}_default.

There are two options when closing an issue:

I'll try and close issues with explicit comments to be more clear about this in the future.
