Report a bug in the core of Spack (command not working as expected, etc.) |
bug |
Explain, in a clear and concise way, the command you ran and the result you were trying to achieve. Example: "I ran Spack find to list all the installed packages and..."
$ spack <command1> <spec>
$ spack <command2> <spec>
...If Spack reported an error, provide the error message. If it did not report an error but the output appears incorrect, provide the incorrect output. If there was no error message and no output but the result is incorrect, describe how it does not match what you expect. To provide more information you might re-run the commands with the additional -d/--stacktrace flags:
$ spack -d --stacktrace <command1> <spec>
$ spack -d --stacktrace <command2> <spec>
...that activate the full debug output.
This includes:
- which platform you are using
- any relevant configuration detail (custom
packages.yamlormodules.yaml, etc.)
We encourage you to try, as much as possible, to reduce your problem to the minimal example that still reproduces the issue. That would help us a lot in fixing it quickly and effectively!
If you want to ask a question about the tool (how to use it, what it can currently do, etc.), try the #general channel on our Slack first. We have a welcoming community and chances are you'll get your reply faster and without opening an issue.
Other than that, thanks for taking the time to contribute to Spack!
