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

[Michael Wilde]

Sarah, 


The only detailed list I know of is for the coaster provider, in the User Guide. And even that is likely not 100% in sync with the code. 


Anything you can do to create such a list as part of this bug fix would be great.

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).
