HTCondor at CERN examples not working on lxplus

[waredjeb]

Hi!
I was trying to write a workflow with law supporting submission in HTCondor. I had some problems with law getting stuck when trying to submit with HTCondor. So I've tried to run the examples to understand if it was my problem or it was in general with law (or with lxplus)

I was trying to run the htcondor_at_cern example on lxplus9:
sourced setup.sh in example/htcondor_at_cern and ran as below
But, it seems that the task gets stuck. Locally everything work smoothly.

[user@lxplus926 analysis]$ law index
indexing tasks in 1 module(s)
written 2 task(s) to index file './law/examples/htcondor_at_cern/.law/index'

[user@lxplus926 analysis]$ law run CreateChars --version v1 --workflow htcondor
/afs/cern.ch/user/m/mrieger/public/law_sw/luigi_3/luigi/task.py:443: UnconsumedParameterWarning: The configuration contains the parameter 'local-scheduler' with value 'True' that is not consumed by the task 'core'.
  warnings.warn(

  warnings.warn(
DEBUG: luigi-interface - Checking if CreateChars(effective_workflow=htcondor, branch=-1, version=v1, workflow=htcondor) is complete

Using python3.9.14 on lxplus9 (el9)
Is it me? lxplus? or something else?

Thanks :)

Hey @waredjeb, thanks for opening the issue!

Can you run the example again, starting from the first instruction listed in the example page? I just updated the static checkout in my public afs (after a long time) that is used by the example. Hope this fixes it!

I just ran it myself and it looks good.
