combineTool.py -M Impacts cannot account for toy input #266

Open lcorcodilos opened 2 years ago

lcorcodilos commented 2 years ago

When using -t 1 --toysFile <filename>.root to load in a toy dataset, the Impacts algorithm will not account for the change in output file names that includes the seed.

For example, after --doInitialFit, the output will be a file that looks like higgsCombine_initialFit_Test.MultiDimFit.mH{m}.123456.root but the --doFits step will look for higgsCombine_initialFit_Test.MultiDimFit.mH{m}.root. I'm working around this by renaming the files between steps but I imagine this should be changed in lines like these [1].
