CFDEMcoupling check is not picking up errors

[dithwick]

Hi,

We have installed CFDEMcoupling/3.8.0-foss-2019b based on easybuilders/easybuild-easyconfigs#16159 (appreciate the PR hasn't been merged yet but it does what we need it to).

Anyway, this may reflect my lack of understanding how cfdem works but while reviewing the logs I noticed that it was showing the following errors while running:

source $CFDEM_bashrc && $CFDEM_SRC_DIR/lagrangian/cfdemParticle/etc/cfdemSystemTest.sh

The inference being that there are critical paths that are missing from the installation although the easyblock passes this as a correct install. If you source $CFDEM_bashrc manually you see the following:

source $CFDEM_bashrc

Have I misunderstood how cfdem is used (very possible), or are there missing directories with the build?

Thanks

@dithwick I'm not sure how well the CFDEMcoupling installation that we provide(d) was tested, so it seems likely that we overlooked some things...

It seems like we should be running cfdemSystemTest.sh as a sanity check command, at least if it also produces a useful exit code...

[boegel]

@dithwick Have you look into how to fix this at all by tweaking the easyconfig file?

Our users are now hitting the problem too, so if any effort has been done by you on this, would be nice to reuse it rather than go through the same pain...

[dithwick]

Not yet, sorry. Unfortunately, none of us have used CFDEM before and are uncertain how exactly it should work.
