Lock.pid file killing job

[AlbertLiangca]

I am running a job on cluster, and have had multiple jobs killed with this error message given:

juliacall.JuliaError: On worker 2:

ArgumentError: cannot parse "[juliapkg] Waiting for lock on /ext3/pkgs/environments/pyjuliapkg/lock.pid to be freed. This normally means that another process is resolving. If you know that no other process is resolving, delete this file to proceed.\n0.15755426616671533" as Float32

Stacktrace:

  [1] _parse_failure

    @ ./parse.jl:387

  [2] #tryparse_internal#530

    @ ./parse.jl:383 [inlined]

  [3] tryparse_internal

    @ ./parse.jl:380 [inlined]

  [4] parse

Is it advisable to delete the lock file, and if so, how should I go about implementing it in the code? Additionally, what would this error message indicate?

[MilesCranmer]

This file means that there is another process installing packages in the environment. If there is no such process then it's likely some process crashed. I would delete the file, and then do import pysr in a new process in the same environment. Then start again.

Let me know if this fixes things
