Test 7.11 runs a chmod 700 on the plugstack.conf file. After the test completes, the permissions cause sbatch to fail with: sbatch: error: spank: Failed to open /etc/opt/slurm/plugstack.conf: Permission denied sbatch: error: Failed to initialize plugin stack
Fixed with commit 3547869bb.
It appears that this fix has been lost in Slurm 17.11/18.08. I just ran the regression suite on 18.08 and the plugstack.conf file was left with 0700 permissions.
Sorry about that, fixed it again. It was inadvertently discarded on a merge commit before 17.11 was released. commit abf5bcfd782293cb417f989629c306da5d0db52d Author: Tim Wickberg <tim@schedmd.com> Date: Thu Oct 25 14:30:33 2018 -0600 Revert "Add two chmod calls to test7.11 to make sure it runs when " This reverts commit 0581585c70933452a7efcab6423fdd45571169b8. Do not change permissions on files the testsuite does not "own". This is a duplicate of the previous 3547869bb76a commit, which was previously discarded by merge commit cf98dfc019f7b. Bug 4118.
