One more update as I think I understand why OOD does not want to export all the submission shell environment - because that’s the web server environment that has all the Ruby paths, etc. So, you do need to do some “sbatch --export” to remove that.
Doing “srun --export=ALL” inside of the OOD interactive app is a reasonable workaround, though, it’s making me wonder if there has been some change in SLURM’s behavior as we did not have this issue in the past, when I was setting up the interactive app (Ansys Workbench) that uses the “srun” to find the hosts to run on. From what I can tell this issue was on SLURM version 19.05 that we ran last year and 20.11 that we run now. I was likely setting up the app on 17.11.
I am wondering if someone out there is on older versions of SLURM and could do this simple test to see what they get. That is, start the Interactive Desktop app and in the terminal, run “srun -n 1 hostname”. If the “hostname” command is not found, you have the same issue that I am describing, if it is, I’d be curious to know the SLURM version.
Thanks,
MC
