logs are sometimes moved

[mvhulten]

Sometimes the logs below $wfe_dir/ctl/logs are moved out, sometimes not. Why?

[mvhulten]

This happened when I killed a job.

It is clear why it happens, but the fact that in $wfe_dir/ctl/logs/ stay exactly those logs is not intuitive. Users would be looking at old logs.

Thank you for pointing this out and your understanding of the behavior is correct.

A clarification paragraph has been added to the documentation to make this more explicit in #28.

This behavior is intentional, but we agree that it is not immediately intuitive, and the documentation update is meant to help avoid confusion.

Also surprising to me. Workaround is to set debugmode=true in master.conf:

TSMP2_workflow-engine/ctl/master.conf

Lines 50 to 53 in e6c3fec

	# DebugMode: No job submission. Just config
	debugmode=false

I'm also used to inspecting the run directory before submitting the job myself. The default auto-submit behavior can be really annoying...
