[JhanSrbinovsky]

got to here but fails deployment - cant make out the reason. sources in spack.yaml are the commit HASHES of the HEAD(s) of both UM and JULES. Cant see error due to source code anyway. @CodeGat @chrisb13 @ccarouge

H'm at a glance, looks like your path names are too long?

To fix this, compile with more padding (config:install_tree:padded_length), or install to a shorter prefix.

Someone like @anton-seaice or @harshula can perhaps confirm or suggest a workaround?

[JhanSrbinovsky]

have some paths been changed since last anyone successfully built here? I could change spack to build from original tags but IDK that this would help.

[chrisb13]

Okie doke, I've ping'd some additional folks..

[manodeep]

Here are the two filenames - clearly the second name is longer than the first.

b'/g/data/vk83/prerelease/apps/spack/0.22/release/linux-rocky8-x86_64_v4/intel-2021.10.0/gmake-4.4.1-iguc3vqkmaqjtjqxnfvsvjaebbo4fqkt'

The solution is to (probably) add the padded_length setting that the error message recommended, perhaps around this line

[chrisb13]

fyi @JhanSrbinovsky, @CodeGat is on the case!

[CodeGat]

@JhanSrbinovsky @chrisb13 I believe the issue is fixed. There was an issue with path substitution from buildcaches, but after I deleted the buildcache it worked again. Future pushes will work, but let me know if there are issues.
(@manodeep I tried adding padded_length to the config but that resulted in the same error (but with a very long placeholder path)

🚀 Attempted to deploy access-am3 Prerelease pr15-2 with commit 22cccaf

🖥️ Gadi Deployment ✔️

Usage Instructions

access-am3, defined in ./spack.yaml, will be deployed to Gadi as:

• 2025.10.000 as a Release (when merged).
• pr15-2 as a Prerelease (during this PR).

This Prerelease is accessible on Gadi using:

module use /g/data/vk83/prerelease/modules
module load access-am3/pr15-2

When using the above modules, the binaries shall be on your $PATH.

For advanced users, this Prerelease is also accessible on Gadi via /g/data/vk83/prerelease/apps/spack/0.22/spack in the access-am3-pr15-2 environment.
Due to inode-saving measures, one will have to manually untar the environment metadata before environment activation with tar -xf .spack-env .spack-env.tar. It will require one to have write privileges.

Configuration Information

This Prerelease is deployed using:

• access-nri/spack on branch 0.22
• access-nri/spack-packages version 2025.09.004
• access-nri/spack-config version 2025.08.000

If the above was not what was expected, commit changes to config/versions.json in this PR.

@CodeGat - FYI

dummy push from my local checkout. - worked :)

!redeploy and GUI re-run didn't work. co-pilot suggested error was with paths again and possibly spack update or something

I suspect it won't happen again now, the gears have turned and all the right pieces picked up so it'll probably be fine. I'll run a !redploy now to check. if you don't hear from me its all good

thanks also @chrisb13 @manodeep et al
