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

Thu Aug 15 15:03:36 UTC 2019

Looks like the commit is here:

https://github.com/SchedMD/slurm/commit/fddc98533c1f3753e5e43ad6a16407c5cb8c8de8

Yet, no change log on it. Very frustrating.

    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        It seems that --workdir= is no longer a valid option in batch jobs and srun in 19.05, and has been replaced by --chdir.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
