Hi Easybuilders,
A couple of questions:
1. I'm running into trouble using run_cmd_qa in a custom easyblock. The
command's output is pretty huge, and after a while, the maximum hitCount is
exceeded. As I understand the inner workings of run_cmd_qa, it keeps on
reading bits of stdout/stderr from the command it is executing, and it
tries to match with the questions, answering them when found. Failing
that, it will check for matches in the no_qa list, and when finding one, it
resets hitCount, incrementing it otherwise.
So if I get this right, I've to provide sufficient no_qa elements so
that the whole of the output of the command is "covered", i.e., making sure
that there is a no_qa match very n lines?
2. There are a number of modules that are really basic, e.g., git,
CMake... Perhaps it would make sense to define a very minimal toolchain
(even one that simply uses the resident gcc) for these kind of modules?
That would allow to really minimize dependencies. Just a question, maybe
it is a dumb idea.
Thanks in advance, -gjb-
