Error: gen_ximprove_share object has no attribute cmd when running gridpack

Hello,

in case it can help to debug the issue, I am also experiencing the same error reported by Joshua.
It happens for the generation of a different process (pp > HH + 0/1/2 jet).
Please let me know if this is known or if some input is needed (for example the gridpack for inspection).

Thanks in advance for you help!

Cheers,
Luca

Hi,

1) I do not reproduce such issue.
2) I do not see how such error is actually possible

The only option that I can imagine is that such issue is actually already solved.
Which version of the code are you using?

Cheers,

Olivier

Hello,

I am using Madgraph v2.6.1
I looked through the code; and have found a temporary solution. After unpacking the gridpack; I edited the code in
/madevent/bin/internal/gen_ximprove.py
on line 797; we have a block of code

797 if cmd.proc_characteristics['loop_induced']:
798 return super(gen_ximprove, cls).__new__(gen_ximprove_share, cmd, opt)
799 elif gen_ximprove.format_variable(cmd.run_card['gridpack'], bool):
800 return super(gen_ximprove, cls).__new__(gen_ximprove_gridpack, cmd, opt)
801 elif cmd.run_card["job_strategy"] == 2:
802 return super(gen_ximprove, cls).__new__(gen_ximprove_share, cmd, opt)
803 else:
804 return super(gen_ximprove, cls).__new__(gen_ximprove_v4, cmd, opt)

In the lines shown above; I commented out lines 797, 798, and now the gridpack runs properly (though I am not sure if the results are what we expect). To me; it seems like having loop_induced mode on would cause the above code to create a gen_ximprove_share; though we wanted a gen_ximprove_gridpack instead?

Hello Oliver,

same for me, I am using a gridpack that I produced with MG5_aMC_v2_6_1, running it in a SL6 release using Python 2.7.11.
Indeed as pointed out by Joshua the error happens only for loop induced processes, while the running works fine for another LO sample that I produced with the very same setup.
Joshua's fix works, but can you confirm that the results that we obtain is correct?

Thanks,
Luca

Hi,

Since you were not mentionning it, I was guessing that it was normal LO (via heft model).
Ok, I reproduce the problem now. I'm investigating it

Cheers,

Olivier

ok your fix should be ok as far as I can think.
This is obviously not the correct fix which is the following one:

Hello Olivier,
thanks for the reply.

However, I tried to take the original gen_ximprove.py script (without the modification suggested by Joshua) and add these two lines, but I get the same error.
Is there some extra step to follow?

Cheers,
Luca

Oops thanks for let me know,
I tried that one realise that it was failing fixing it locally and forget to change it in the release file.

The correct one is:
