Description

Hi,

There is a file list with just one file:

$ cat mars-monfnal3-rand1.list 
/data/mu2e/extmon/mars/valexakh/monfnal3/andr-uc/rand1/000_fort.87

The fcl file has

source: {
    module_type: FromEMFMARSFileWeighted
    fileNames: [ "/data/mu2e/extmon/mars/valexakh/monfnal3w1/andr-test/398_fort.86", "/data/mu2e/extmon/mars/valexakh/monfnal3w1/andr-test/399_fort.86" ]

    runNumber          : 55
    firstSubRunNumber  : 0
    firstEventNumber   : 1

    maxEvents: -1
}

When running

$ mu2e -c Sources/test/FromEMFMARSFileWeighted.fcl -S ./mars-monfnal3-rand1.list

I see that the job processes two files:

/data/mu2e/extmon/mars/valexakh/monfnal3/andr-uc/rand1/000_fort.87

(requested by the cmdline list) and

/data/mu2e/extmon/mars/valexakh/monfnal3w1/andr-test/399_fort.86

(which looks like a leftover from what is in the fcl).

While the job uses a custom source module, the detail class does no
handling of the list of files.  So the problem is in the generic
source implementation in the framework and should be reproducible
without my specific code (which is not in CVS at the moment).

We should implement a test for this behavior if it does not already exist. It is possible that this issue was resolved as a byproduct of re-working argument-handling to support SAM requirements.

#3 Updated by Andrei Gaponenko over 6 years ago

Hello,

art v1_08_09 still does not handle input file lists correctly.
Someone got wrong outputs today because of it. A grid job
got an empty list of input files (zero length file as an argument to the
"-S" art's command line option). Instead of either crashing or producing
no outputs art ran on a test data file that was mentioned in the fcl config.

To reproduce:

$ cat inputListTest.fcl
process_name : inputListTest
source: { module_type: RootInput fileNames : [ "nonExistingFile.root" ] }

$ ls nonExistingFile.root
ls: cannot access nonExistingFile.root: No such file or directory

$ ls nofiles.txt
ls: cannot access nofiles.txt: No such file or directory

$ touch nofiles.txt
$ mu2e c inputListTest.fcl -S nofiles.txt
...
cet::exception caught in art
--- CatalogServiceError BEGIN
Input file not found: nonExistingFile.root.
---- CatalogServiceError END

With 96c0f77:

  1. An source list file (empty or otherwise) will always override specification in FHiCL.
  2. A source file list specification is incompatible with command-line specification of file names (either with -s, --source or as non-option arguments).

This functionality is now tested to prevent future regression.

Please advise soonest if this is not desired behavior.
