Subject: LIGO - condor_dagman VARS broken in 6.8.5
X-Enigmail-Version: 0.95.0
Openpgp: url=http://pgp.mit.edu/

If you set multiple variables for one node in a dag, the arguments
become mangled in 6.8.5. This worked properly in 6.8.4 and works in 6.9.2.

Example dag:
JOB 1 /archive/home/eespinoz/duncan.sub
JOB 2 /archive/home/eespinoz/duncan.sub
VARS 1 job="1" blue="false"
PARENT 1 CHILD 2


5/30 18:15:04 Argument added, Name="job"        Value="1"
5/30 18:15:04 Argument added, Name="jobblue"    Value="1false"


5/30 18:15:46 Argument added, Name="job"        Value="1"
5/30 18:15:46 Argument added, Name="blue"       Value="false"

5/30 17:54:05 Argument added, Name="job"        Value="1"
5/30 17:54:05 Argument added, Name="blue"       Value="false"

Thanks,

Okay, this should be easy to reproduce!

I've created a Gnats PR for this:  854.

I have a fix for this -- it will go into 6.8.6.

I still need to build a special DAGMan for you guys with the latest 6.8
and 6.9 changes, though.

In the mean time, if you really run into further problems with this, you
can work around it by specifying each macroname/value pair on a separate
VARS line in the DAG file.
