Issue building ctsm single point case: "No default value found for lower_boundary_condition"

[adamhb]

Hi all,

I'm getting the following error when running ./case.build for a single point case using ctsm5.1.dev115 / fates:sci.1.61.0_api.25.0.0 /
cime6.0.45 running on Cheyenne.

ERROR: Command /glade/u/home/adamhb/CTSM/bld/build-namelist failed rc=255
out=
err=ERROR : CLM build-namelist::CLMBuildNamelist::add_default() : No default value found for fsurdat.
Are defaults provided for this resolution and land mask?

In the create_newcase call (see attached) I point to a users mods directory that contains user_nl_clm and "shell commands" files pointing to the subsetted data used for my point.

The following line does get copied into the user_nl_clm file in my case dir so I believe the model build scripts should have access to the surface data info at my site.
fsurdat = '/glade/scratch/adamhb/my_subset_data/CZ2/surfdata_0.9x1.25_hist_16pfts_Irrig_CMIP6_simyr2000_my_point_c220802.nc'.

I get the above error even if I try other versions of CTSM, FATES, and CIME. For example, I've tried FATES api 24 with ctsm5.1.dev099 and cime6.0.80.

The bash script I use to create the case is attached.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!
Adam

I can take a closer look at this once cheyenne comes back up. I do seem to recall getting that error when creating a case using that kind of configuration. However, after running case.setup and then modifying user_nl_clm, preview_namelists completes without an error.

OK, thank you Keith. I would appreciate it!

Try changing this:

use_bedrock = true

to this:

use_bedrock = .true.

Yes! That was it. Thank you! Not sure how I accidentally got rid of those two periods... but really appreciate the second pair of eyes on that script.
