buildtest provides a default job templates for LSF and SLURM to generate test scripts to be used with batch-scheduler.
The templates can be found at $BUILDTEST_ROOT/template/
Shown below is a LSF Job Template
.. program-output:: cat scripts/Job_Template/job.lsf
Feel free to change or bring or specify your own job template. buildtest will use job template and create job script for each test script with the same template configuration, this may work for binary tests where job configuration is not important. However, this may not work well for parallel jobs (OpenMP, MPI) where further configuration is needed
buildtest can automatically generate job scripts with a template job script specified
by --job-template option or with variable BUILDTEST_JOB_TEMPLATE
Let's run the following _buildtest build --package firefox --job-template template/job.lsf --enable-job to
build LSF job scripts
.. program-output:: cat scripts/Job_Template/firefox_jobscript.txt
Job templates work with option --package and --software. Let's try another example
building job scripts with a software package GCCcore/6.4.0 with lsf job template
_buildtest build -s GCCcore/6.4.0 --job-template template/job.lsf --enable-job
.. program-output:: cat scripts/Job_Template/GCCcore-6.4.0_lsf_job.txt
