For the ACES project, I'm re-running the ALMA pipeline using MPI.
However, this results in all runs crashing with the following error:
2022-04-06 04:22:43 INFO: Executing plotms(vis='uid___A002_Xf512ae_X2626.ms', xaxis='azimuth', yaxis='elevation', spw='25:0~0,27:0~0,29:0~0,31:0~0,33:0~0,35:0~0', antenna='0&&*', avgchannel='9000', avgtime='10', coloraxis='field', customflaggedsymbol=True, flaggedsymbolshape='autoscaling', title='Elevation vs Azimuth for uid___A002_Xf512ae_X2626.ms', plotfile='azel.png', showgui=False, clearplots=True)

Cannot mount AppImage, please check your FUSE setup.
You might still be able to extract the contents of this AppImage
if you run it with the --appimage-extract option.
See https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/wiki/FUSE
for more information
open dir error: No such file or directory
This fails even if I set the global APPIMAGE_EXTRACT_AND_RUN as directed on the appimage.org docs.
This indicates that the appimage is older than the environmental variable.
Running the full command "works": /orange/adamginsburg/casa/casa-6.2.1-7-pipeline-2021.2.0.128/lib/py/lib/python3.6/site-packages/casaplotms/__bin__/casaplotms-x86_64.AppImage --appimage-extract but --appimage-extract-and-run gives --appimage-extract-and-run is not yet implemented in version continuous-1-g6f3138f
So to run plotms, we need to use the AppRun executable in the extracted squashfs-root directory.
My original hack was to just tell plotms not to run at all, which I accomplished by editing the plotmstool.py file (lib/py/lib/python3.6/site-packages/casaplotms/private/plotmstool.py) to just skip the __launch command:
def __launch( uri=None ):
return
However, in writing this post, I've changed to instead modifying the app_path to this:
app_path = "/tmp/casaplotms/squashfs-root/AppRun"
if not __os.path.exists(app_path):
print(f"Did not find extracted path {app_path}")
app_path = __os.path.join( __os.path.abspath( __os.path.join(__os.path.dirname(__file__),"..") ), '__bin__/casaplotms-x86_64.AppImage')
I haven't tried it but I'm slightly hopeful.
