all cpld baselines are failing on derecho

[DeniseWorthen]

Description

Running UFS cpld tests from top-develop on derecho are all failing. There is a baseline directory in place (develop-20241112) but Derecho was skipped for the last PR (the WW3 PIO). A note was left here that baselines were created OK, but apparently not.

To Reproduce:

Run top-develop on Derecho

[DeniseWorthen]

@jkbk2004 This is still an issue as of today, running top-of-develop against develop-20241121. How were the baselines generated on Derecho?

[jkbk2004]

@DeniseWorthen Rocoto is at least functional on Derecho. Current baseline of the develop branch is with /glade/derecho/scratch/epicufsrt/ufs-weather-model/RT/NEMSfv3gfs/develop-20241127. Can you test with develop-20241127?

[DeniseWorthen]

I'm running ecflow fine. And the baselines are not comparing.

[DeniseWorthen]

The point of maintaining 2 months worth of baselines is that a developer can check out an older hash and run against it.

I'm testing 144ccb0. That baseline date is 20241121. The baseline exists on Derecho

ls -lrt  /glade/derecho/scratch/epicufsrt/ufs-weather-model/RT//NEMSfv3gfs

However, no logs were posted for that commit at UWM:

Why does a baseline exist if it the commit was not run against or created by that commit?

[jkbk2004]

Workflow managers on Derecho wasn't stable for a while. We tried to recover the baselines sporadically. We started maintaining the RT log from last commit.

[jkbk2004]

I have no issue to test with develop branch for 20241127

[DeniseWorthen]

To reiterate, a developer should expect that checking out a hash and running against a baseline will pass. Why is the baseline present if it was not generated by or tested against that hash?

[jkbk2004]

let us know if you have any issue with develop branch

[DeniseWorthen]

No! Why else maintain baselines if a developer cannot run against them. This is a fundamental principle.

[jkbk2004]

The system wasn't stable for a while

[DeniseWorthen]

That makes no sense. Was the hash used to generate the associated baseline? Yes or no.

[jkbk2004]

I reported Derecho baseline is fully recovered ok with full test log from 20241127. System issue before then. I am removing baselines created during the time period with workflow issue.
