GNU Parallel Bug Reports --joblog parsing fails for commands containing line feeds.

[Coby Viner]

--joblog parsing fails for commands containing line feeds.

Example error text:

parallel: Error: Format of 'test_joblog_fails.log' is wrong:     echo "

 

Parallel version (latest):

 cviner  ~  parallel --version

 cviner  ~ 

 

Error example: 2 required files ("test_joblog_fails.log" and "test_joblog_succeeds.log") are enclosed.

Failing case:

 cviner  ~  parallel -j 1 --verbose --resume --joblog test_joblog_fails.log "sleep" ::: 1 2
parallel: Error: Format of 'test_joblog_fails.log' is wrong:     echo "

 cviner  ~  

 

Passing case:

 cviner  ~  parallel -j 1 --verbose --resume --joblog test_joblog_succeeds.log "sleep" ::: 1 2
 cviner  ~  

 

Platform:

 cviner  ~  uname -a
Linux mhoffman3.uhnresearch.ca 2.6.32-431.17.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed May 7 23:32:49 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
 cviner  ~  

 

Description:

I am running GNU Parallel from a bash script in which it is convenient for me to use commands that span over multiple lines (of which the above is a simple contrived example). It would be nice if --joblog parsing were able to ignore lines not starting with a sequence number.

Thank you,

Coby Viner
