I see all the same problems when I clone this repo.
If you're not going to fix it, can you give me some instructions that will work?

[cponder]

Try updating the config-file in the repo.
The clone-edit-clone doesn't work because of the inconsistency that it creates.
You could do this on a branch and then I could test it that way.

[gdicker1]

There's coming work to update the EarthWorkOrg/CAM to a newer tag from ESCOMP/CAM. For now you can try creating a branch based off EarthWorksOrg/CAM and then merging in a newer ESCOMP/CAM tag (or head of develop) to address this for yourself. If it goes well, I would more than welcome a PR in EarthWorksOrg/CAM that updates it.

[cponder]

Can you give me the commands to do this? I've manages to mess this up in the past.
The Externals_CAM.cfg file isn't in this repo so there's some indirection to deal with.

@cponder Thanks for reporting this.
Long term fix: Update Externals_CAM.cfg to use the git protocal and point chem proc to git repo. This has been done in the latest version of CESM beta tags and this will eventually gets merged into Earthworks as we update our CAM tags.

Short term fix:

• I can create branch for CAM with a change pointing chem_proc to git. you can just use new branch in your External.cfg
• Secondly, We don't get the certificate in other machines like Cheyenne, Gust, Perlmutter. You could run the manage_externals/checkout on Cheyenne and 'scp' them over to Selene.

Please let me know which is convenient for you.

@supreethms1809 -- yeah -- could you please create the branch? Also that way i can test the updated code to see if it has any issues before the merge happens.

[supreethms1809]

@cponder I created a new branch for you to test. And here are some instructions to get it.

git clone [email protected]:EarthWorksOrg/EarthWorks.git
cd Earthworks
git checkout update_component_chem_proc
./manage_externals/checkout_externals -v

Please let me know how this turns out.

[cponder]

No errors in the checkout, thanks!
Dunno if we should close this now, or wait until things get merged into the trunk.

[supreethms1809]

@cponder thanks for testing it. Lets keep this open till we merge. We need to check if you can build and run the compsets without errors as expected.
I’ll submit a PR for this change.

[gdicker1]

I think this issue has been resolved or at least gone stale, so I'm closing it for now.
