Cannot run PyMAPDL in HPC instance

[samuel-segal]

When I run the function "launch_mapdl" in an HPC instance, I get the error "ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '###-####-####'". While I have tried changing the environment variable to a null value in order to accommodate this, it results in further problems in functionality— MAPDL does not launch.

Hi @samuel-segal Can you show us more information like a screen shot of the error message. Which environment variable did you set to null?

[samuel-segal]

Hey @mikerife , thanks for responding! I have attached a screenshot of my output (personal information redacted), the environment variable that I set to 0 was "SLURM_NODELIST." I have provided more details in my bug report, available at #4232

Hi both

It seems there is a bug in there:

pymapdl/src/ansys/mapdl/core/launcher.py

Lines 2114 to 2117 in e1e45cf

	SLURM_NODELIST = str(
	get_value("SLURM_NODELIST", kwargs, default="") # type: ignore
	).lower() # type: ignore
	LOG.info(f"SLURM_NODELIST: {SLURM_NODELIST}")

It is trying to apply int to a string. I will fix it.
