I know this doesn't particularly help you, but for me on 23.11.6 it works as expected and immediately drops me onto the allocated node. In answer to your question, yes, as I understand it the default/expected behavior is to return the shell directly.

Hi,
With
$ salloc --version slurm 23.11.10
and
$ grep LaunchParameters /etc/slurm/slurm.conf LaunchParameters=use_interactive_step
the following
$ salloc --partition=interactive --ntasks=1 --time=00:03:00 --mem=1000 --qos=standard salloc: Granted job allocation 18928869 salloc: Nodes c001 are ready for job
creates a job
$ squeue --me JOBID PARTITION NAME USER ST TIME NODES NODELIST(REASON) 18928779 interacti interact loris R 1:05 1 c001
but causes the terminal to block.
From a second terminal I can log into the compute node:
$ ssh c001 [13:39:36] loris@c001 (1000) ~
Is that the expected behaviour or should salloc return a shell directly on the compute node (like srun --pty /bin/bash -l used to do)?
Cheers,
Loris
