6.8. Common Errors Known Issues

6.8.1. Error: “ImportError” message when running setup script

Example:

$ ./setup_xml.py /path/to/your/experiment/directory
/usr/bin/env: python3: No such file or directory

Cause: Missing python module in your environment

Solution: Load a python module (“module load python”) and retry setup script.

6.8.2. Error: curses default colors when running viewer

Example:

$ ./rocoto_viewer.py -d blah.db -w blah.xml
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./rocoto_viewer.py", line 2376, in <module>
    curses.wrapper(main)
  File "/contrib/anaconda/anaconda2/4.4.0/lib/python2.7/curses/wrapper.py", line 43, in wrapper
    return func(stdscr, *args, **kwds)
  File "./rocoto_viewer.py", line 1202, in main
    curses.use_default_colors()
 _curses.error: use_default_colors() returned ERR

Cause: wrong TERM setting for curses

Solution: set TERM to “xterm” (bash: export TERM=xterm ; csh/tcsh: setenv TERM xterm)

6.8.3. Issue: Directory name change for EnKF folder in ROTDIR

Issue: The EnKF ROTDIR folders were renamed during the GFS v15 development process to remove the period between “enkf” and “gdas”: enkf.gdas.$PDY → enkfgdas.$PDY

Fix: Older tarballs on HPSS will have the older directory name with the period between ‘enkf’ and ‘gdas’. Make sure to rename folder to ‘enkfgdas.$PDY’ after obtaining. Only an issue for the initial cycle.
