Error in downloading components (./manage_externals/checkout_externals)

[Shruti]

Hello,

I am facing issue with ./manage_externals/checkout_externals command.
It gives the following errors :

Checking out externals: clm, ERROR:root:Command '[u'git', u'clone', u'--quiet', u'ESCOMP/CTSM', u'clm']' returned non-zero exit status 128
ERROR:root:Failed with output:
git-lfs filter-process: 1: git-lfs filter-process: git-lfs: not found
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
warning: Clone succeeded, but checkout failed.

According to the below post, there seems to be some issue with svn certificate.
./manage_externals/checkout_externals script failing · Issue #65 · ESCOMP/CESM

But i have already checked for the svn certification by executing
svn list https://svn-ccsm-models.cgd.ucar.edu/cam1/release_tags/cam_cesm2_0_rel_08/components/cam

The output is as below :
SVN_EXTERNAL_DIRECTORIES
bld/
cime_config/
doc/
src/
test/
tools/

Please let me know how to resolve this issue

The error you are getting is apparently from git while the post you reference is about svn. You may need to update your git client.

Hello,

I have 2 systems with the same git version 2.17.1
./manage_externals/checkout_externals command seems to be successful in one system while the other gives error.
I also checked with latest CESM version 2.1.3 but facing the same error as above.

Also as per suggestion tried, "git checkout -f HEAD"
It gave the following output :
git-lfs filter-process: 1: git-lfs filter-process: git-lfs: not found
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Can you please guide me through this?

Try from the command line:

cd cesm/components

git clone https://github.com/ESCOMP/ctsm/ clm
