[slurm-users] Does setting 'job_desc.mail_user' in job_submit.lua work?

[Loris Bennett]

Hi,

Does setting 'mail_user' in job_submit.lua actually work in Slurm
21.08.5?

I have, if certain conditions are met

job_desc.mail_user = other_email_address

Logging tells me that this part of the code is indeed reached, but the
email address in the job is not changed.

Other parts of the plugin work, but they only read other elements of
job_desc and do not modify anything.

Am I doing something wrong?

Cheers,

Loris

Hi Loris,

I can confirm the problem: I am not able to modify the
job_desc.mail_user. Other values can be modified, though.

We are also on 21.08.5

Best,
Marcus

Hi Marcus,

Thanks for confirming. So this is a bug (a documentation one at least),
since

https://slurm.schedmd.com/job_submit_plugins.html

claims that

_get_job_req_field() contains the list of attributes available for the
job_descriptor (e.g. submission or modification request).

and _get_job_req_field() contains 'mail_user'.

Cheers,

Loris

Hi Loris,

I can confirm that this does not work. I patched it myself and opened
already an enhancement (Bug 11591) but nothing happened so far...

Regards,

Alexander

Hi Alexander,

Thanks for the further confirmation. It's a shame your patch has not
made it into a release yet - it seems like a fairly minor change.

Cheers,

Loris
