Description
Version 0.71.0 of Flux does not parse spindle options correct in two cases. This case causes a segfault:
flux run \
-o userrc=${FLUXRC} \
--tasks-per-node=3 \
--nodes=3 \
python3 --version
The workaround is to add -o spindle.
This case causes an error:
flux run \
-o userrc=${FLUXRC} \
-o spindle \
-o spindle.python-prefix=/usr/bin \
--tasks-per-node=3 \
--nodes=3 \
/bin/true
The workaround is to remove -o spindle.
The underlying issue is how Flux was setting up option tree. The fix is described here. Hopefully that will be rolled into the 0.73.0 release.
This issue is a reminder to test these conditions once 0.73.0 shows up on local machines.
These issues are not at all critical and don't warrant downloading and building a one-off version of flux for testing.
