#26 YAML/action syntax launchJob.sh not working locally on Mac

[Anna Wojtowicz]

The BISON team seem to be experiencing issues executing the launchJob.sh script locally for generating YAML/action syntax. When the script is executed by NiCE, they receive bash errors:

/bin/bash: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file

But when they execute the same script from the command line, it works fine.

Alex is able to successfully generate YAML/action syntax on a remote machine using his Mac, but should try it locally to see if he's experiencing the same error.

Also possibly related is the fact that Danielle can execute mpirun from the command line, but not through NiCE.

Also also possible related, when Danielle launched a BISON problem locally using the MOOSE Launcher and imported a mesh file to use, BISON attempted to run the problem (ie. executing launchJob.sh worked), but BISON could not access the mesh file (file permission error).

When she tried the exact same problem at the command line (pointing to the same files in the ICE workspace), it worked fine.

I tested this out with Bison locally on my Macbook. Looks like it works if instead of using semicolons to break the long execution string you use '\n' new line characters. I'll test that this change works on linux tomorrow.

New problem arises here though. The files are correctly generated in jobs/iceLaunch_something. But they are left there, and when MooseLauncher goes to grab them in ICEFiles/default it misses them and nothing gets added to the MOOSE subdir.

Please make sure this is tested with CAEBAT too.

Fixed this. Had incorrect escape chars in command string for Mac.
