local variable 'jobstatus' referenced before assignment

Asked by Patricia Rebello Teles

Dear authors

I am trying to run MG5_aMC_v2_1_0 in a PBS cluster but, although jobs are submitted and done, at combine_events step it returns the error msg

Command "combine_events " interrupted with error:
UnboundLocalError : [Fail 5 times]
  local variable 'jobstatus' referenced before assignment
Please report this bug on https://bugs.launchpad.net/madgraph5

Below you can see that LHE files are written

sfichet@UV00000191-P000:~/MG5_aMC_v2_1_0/teste/Events> ls
events.lhe unweighted_events.lhe

At mg5_configuration.txt I have

#! Default Running mode
#! 0: single machine/ 1: cluster / 2: multicore
 run_mode = 1

#! Cluster Type [pbs|sge|condor|lsf|ge|slurm] Use for cluster run only
#! And cluster queue
 cluster_type = pbs
 cluster_queue = long

#! Path to a node directory to avoid direct writting on the central disk
#! Note that condor cluster avoid direct writting by default (therefore this
#! options didn't modify condor cluster)
 cluster_temp_path = /tmp/sfichet

also if I use cluster_temp_path = None the error is the same.

Any hint to fix it?

Thank you in advance. Patricia

Could you try with 2.1.1, they were some feedback from user concerning this cluster and I have implemented the modification they suggested ( We don't have any PBS cluster to test).

Cheers,

Olivier

Thank you very much Olivier. 2.1.1 works well at PBS.
