CP2k regtest_refdir

[scroogie]

While debugging some issues that we have with CP2k, I found that it always reports

cp2k.py:699 INFO No reference output found for regression test, just continuing without it...

The easyblock searches for a directory starting with LAST- in the builddir:

https://github.com/easybuilders/easybuild-easyblocks/blob/master/easybuild/easyblocks/c/cp2k.py#L674

This actually seems to exist in our case:

$ ls /tmp/easybuild/CP2K/6.1-test/foss-2019a
cp2k-6.1 cp2k_regtest.cfg LAST-Linux-x86-64-foss-popt suppr.txt TEST-Linux-x86-64-foss-popt-2019-09-17_13-20-14

I'm wondering what could be wrong here. I noticed that in the test configuration file and other occasions in this block, start_dir is used instead of builddir. Is it possible that it should be searching the start_dir as well?

@scroogie I don't have any experience with CP2k but it looks like that directory is the one created by the current test, it was not there when the easyblock looked for it...

that being said, it is not clear to me when, in the context of easybuild, it would find a previous result, unless rebuilding after having used --disable-cleanup-builddir...
