[Rivet] rivet-findid KeyError

[Benedikt Hegner]

Hi all,

I thought we do the tests to validate that we do a proper installation etc of things and not to do the complete job for the package authors. Thus there is no need for a full coverage of all tests there are in a package. In particular this test relies on external resources/network access. This is something we shouldn’t do as it makes our setup more fragile and depend on the quality of outside services.

just my two cents,
  Benedikt

Dear rivet developers,

In GENSER project we provide a number of LCG installations of rivet for experiments. For each version we have a set (or just one) of tests which notify us in case of errors.

Starting from 18-06-2015 we have found that rivet-findid test fails (more detail on http://cdash.cern.ch/testDetails.php?test=8919703&build=135824)!
The test is very simple:
    rivet-findid 1003.0694

It should print details about Rivet user manual:
  $ rivet-findid 1003.0694
title       Rivet user manual
arxiv       1003.0694
arxiv_url   http://arxiv.org/abs/1003.0694
spires      8576807
inspire     847552
inspire_url http://inspirehep.net/record/847552
bibtex      Buckley:2010ar

But now it fails with the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/build/jenkins/workspace/lcg_experimental/BUILDTYPE/Release/COMPILER/gcc48/LABEL/lcgapp-slc6-physical1/x86_64-slc6-gcc48-opt-install/MCGenerators/rivet/2.2.1/x86_64-slc6-gcc48-opt/bin/rivet-findid", line 187, in <module>
    main()

    ret = _search_inspire(url)

    result['bibtex'] = entries['z']
KeyError: 'z'

I have made a little investigation and found that rivet-findid looks on page http://inspirehep.net/search?p=eprint+1003.0694&of=xm and tries to find key 'z' in <subfield> in the following block ...
<datafield tag="035" ind1=" " ind2=" ">
    <subfield code="9">SPIRESTeX</subfield>
    <subfield code="a">Buckley:2010ar</subfield>
</datafield>
 ... but now the code is "a".

Manual replacement

result['bibtex'] = entries['z'] -> result['bibtex'] = entries['a']


resolves the problem locally.

But it practically impossible to reinstall all rivet versions in LCG stack.

Could you please take a look?
It is not critical issue for us.

Thank you!
