Description Ward 2023-02-02 15:24:42 UTC
Description of problem:

Trying to change the MODULEPATH inside a module can lead to errors of the kind:
/usr/share/lmod/lmod/libexec/ModuleA.lua:581: attempt to index field '?' (a nil
value)

Module code:

pushenv("MODULEPATH", '/some/path')
prepend_path("MODULEPATH", '/another/path')



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

8.7.6


How reproducible:

Just try to load a module file with the above code.



I've tried the latest Lmod (version 8.7.19) and there it works as expected.

Could we upgrade the EPEL version to 8.7.19?

Then we also gets some other fixes I'm keen on having ( https://github.com/TACC/Lmod/issues/613 ).
