[slurm-users] Slurm 19.05 --workdir non existent?

[Christopher Benjamin Coffey]

Hmm it seems that a job submit plugin fix will not be possible due to the attribute being removed from the api....

Am I missing something here?

    Hi,
    
    It seems that --workdir= is no longer a valid option in batch jobs and srun in 19.05, and has been replaced by --chdir. I didn't see a change log about this, did I miss it? Going through the man pages it seems it hasn't existed for some time now actually! Maybe not since before 17.11 series. When did this happen?! I guess I'll have to write a jobsubmit rule to overwrite this in the meantime till we get users trained differently.
    
    Anyone else notice this? I can't find this mentioned as a bug, or anything on the nets.
    
    Best,
    Chris
