The flag you are looking for is actually --no-resume
. I kept this separate from --force
since they seem logically distinct to me, and one might want one without the other. That said, I think the advice to delete all the resume info is probably not the best — the message should probably point to the flag rather than the brute-force approach.
Aha! Many thanks for the pointer, this does exactly what I wanted.
Hi,
I have greatly appreciated the new features for restoring runs (#245) which have been a big timesaver for HPC tangos applications.
They however interact unexpectedly with the
--force
keyword. Even if this keyword is passed, if the Tangos runs has previously crashed/was terminated, the calculation resumes from its previous state rather than recomputing from start as expected from setting--force
. You can of course delete the cache folder to avoid this, but the point of--force
in my mind is to supersede time-gaining manoeuvres (e.g. don't recalculate if properties already exist).Was this a wanted behaviour from the resume feature, or an oversight?
