Multiple alpha build versions' IDL fails on first MDSconnect about mdsplus HOT 3 CLOSED

I am pretty sure we have a fix for this. Will investigate tomorrow. Sent from my iPhoneOn May 30, 2023, at 7:35 PM, Mitchell Clark ***@***.***> wrote: Affiliation General Atomics / DIII-D CSS Version(s) Affected Alpha Releases 7.139.23, 7.139.28, 7.139.35-37 Platform RHEL 8 Describe the bug Currently on our systems we use alpha_release-7.130.1, but we are needing to update our build to some version which includes the fixes made in #2537. We have now tested several versions of MDSplus to try and find a working build, however each version we have tested has a bug where the first IDL mdsconnect attempt errors out. Furthermore the error occurs each time a new IDL shell is created (see screenshot below). Also, it appears the status variable doesn't catch anything either: IDL> mdsconnect,'[the server]',status=status % Compiled module: MDSCONNECT. % Compiled module: MDSDISCONNECT. % MDSCONNECT: Error connecting to [the server] % Execution halted at: $MAIN$ IDL> help,status STATUS UNDEFINED = <Undefined> IDL> mdsconnect,'[the server]',status=status IDL> help,status STATUS INT = 1 To Reproduce ./bootstrap ./configure --prefix=[your build directory] make make install [whatever you do for pathing] idl

Expected behavior It should just connect with no error the way it does on the second attempt. Screenshots Additional context We just need a new version of MDSplus that fixes the numpy string issue/update that works otherwise. —Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or unsubscribe.You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.Message ID: ***@***.***>
