[Swift-devel] Fwd: [Bug 453] New: Swift accepts bad sites parameters without warning to user

[Sarah Kenny]

hey all, i've added a check for some of the incorrect parameters for local
execution provider but need to add for the other providers....this is
perhaps a naively optimistic question :) but is there a comprehensive list
of which parameters are accepted by which provider? just thought i'd check
before continuing to dig around for them.

thanks

          Summary: Swift accepts bad sites parameters without warning to
                   user
          Product: Swift
          Version: 0.92
         Platform: All
       OS/Version: All
           Status: ASSIGNED
         Severity: major
         Priority: P1
        Component: SwiftScript language
       AssignedTo: skenny at uchicago.edu
       ReportedBy: wilde at mcs.anl.gov


In the newuser-guide pads-quickstart, we tell the user to use the following
sites file:


<config>
<pool handle="pads-pbs">
 <execution jobmanager="local:pbs" provider="local" url="none" />
 <filesystem provider="local" url="none" />
 <profile key="jobThrottle" namespace="karajan">0</profile>
 <profile namespace="globus" key="project">_QUEUE_</profile>
 <workdirectory>_WORK_</workdirectory>
</pool>
</config>

which is included from the test/ directory.

This file is half coasters, half plain pbs, and as a result happily runs the
users jobs on localhost - without any indication of problems.

Swift should warn the user (or give a fatal error) if parameters specified
in
the sites file dont apply to the selected provider(s).
