Very simple makeflow fails

[sprock]

Hello,

Just getting back to work after a long layoff.   I have a very simple workflow:

URL="/home/rmason/Scratch/elkjobs"
CP=/bin/cp

run: ./mpi_mixed_species_sources.sh
    $(CP) mpi_mixed_species_sources.sh $(URL)/run

When executed the file $(URL)/run is created but makeflow does not recognise its own success:

parsing runelk.mfl...
local resources: 1.000 cores, 0 MB memory, 2062145 MB disk
max running local jobs: 1
checking runelk.mfl for consistency...
runelk.mfl has 1 rules.
recovering from log file runelk.mfl.makeflowlog...
checking for old running or failed jobs...
will retry failed rule: /bin/cp mpi_mixed_species_sources.sh "/home/rmason/Scratch/elkjobs"/run
deleted run  
checking files for unexpected changes...  (use --skip-file-check to skip this step)

deleted run
2022/04/06 14:03:42.59 makeflow[95008] notice: will retry failed job /bin/cp mpi_mixed_species_sources.sh "/home/rmason/Scratch/elkjobs"/run
submitting job: /bin/cp mpi_mixed_species_sources.sh "/home/rmason/Scratch/elkjobs"/run
submitted job 95142
job 95142 completed

and after several repeat attempts it ends thus:

2022/04/06 14:03:42.67 makeflow[95008] notice: job /bin/cp mpi_mixed_species_sources.sh "/home/rmason/Scratch/elkjobs"/run failed too many times.

I'm sure there is something I'm missing.

I appreciate any help.

Thanks,

Roger

Roger,

makeflow is looking for the file "run" in the current directory. You want something like:

URL="/home/rmason/Scratch/elkjobs"
CP=/bin/cp

$(URL)/run: ./mpi_mixed_species_sources.sh
    $(CP) mpi_mixed_species_sources.sh $(URL)/run
