Hi All, The next release of Environment Modules (v5.7) will introduce a new modulefile command: modulepath-ignore. Modulepath directories sometimes hold files that are not modulefiles — helper scripts sourced by modulefiles, or software installation files when modulefiles are mixed with the software trees they describe. With modulepath-ignore, modulepath maintainers can describe from rc files such content to ignore when searching for modulefiles. Ignored files and directories are handled as if they do not exist: they are not checked, not walked down, not reported and not recorded in the modulepath cache file. Cache build time and size are thus kept proportional to the number of actual modulefiles. Patterns follow the same syntax and behavior as git .gitignore files. For instance, to ignore every .tcl file and the whole content of the soft directory, add to the .modulerc file at the root of the modulepath: modulepath-ignore *.tcl soft/ Negated patterns switch to an ignore all, accept some logic. For instance, to only take files with the .mod extension into account: modulepath-ignore * !*/ !*.mod The feature is controlled by the new modulepath_ignore configuration option (enabled by default), and patterns can be skipped for one command execution with the --no-modulepath-ignore command line switch, which helps finding out whether a module is missing because it is ignored. Full details are available in the migration guide: https://modules.readthedocs.io/en/latest/MIGRATING.html#ignore-files-in-modulepath Best regards, Xavier -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
