Error in Ensemble restart generation sampling strategy (Test step 3)

[Lise-Li]

Hi, LISF community!

I'm trying to generate the ensemble file in step3. And I had the lis_input files and the open loop restart file. But I met the following error:
#Regridding: Applying budget-bilinear interp to input parameter
[INFO] Done reading NCEP Native greenness min file.
Checking/filling mask values for: SHDMIN
Total number of surface tiles 616
Total number of tiles for LSM 616
Total number of tiles for Openwater 0
Total number of grid points: 616
[ERR] Ensemble restart generation sampling strategy: not defined
[ERR] options are ..'none' and 'random sampling'
endrun is being called

I attached my lis_input files, open-loop restart file, ldt.config and ldtlog.0000. I was following the public_walkthrough step3. Is there something wrong with one of my files?

Please kindly let me know how to solve the problem.
Thank you

Hi @Lise-Li

You may have an older version of the Step 3 testcase. Can you please download the latest?
https://nasa-lis.github.io/LISF/public_testcase_walkthrough/public_testcase_walkthrough.html#_step_3_ensemble_restart_file_generation_ldt

The testcase has this line in the ldt.config, which you do not:
Ensemble restart generation sampling strategy: none

All current testcase files were updated in June 2023.
