Hi Melo,

IIRC, the htcondor internals don't distinguish between errors and no matching jobs.

What happens if you do condor_qedit manually?

I get the following:

# this one fails

[vagrant@localhost sync]$ condor_qedit -constraint 'DAGManJobId =?= 2513 && DAGParentNodeNames =?= "JobSplitting"' HoldReason Test3

Failed to set attribute "HoldReason" by constraint: DAGManJobId =?= 2513 && DAGParentNodeNames =?= "JobSplitting"

# this one succeeds

[vagrant@localhost sync]$ condor_qedit -constraint 'TaskType =?= "ROOT" && CRAB_ReqName =?= "localhost_130818_205328_meloam_gwms_resub" && (isUndefined(CRAB_Attempt) || CRAB_Attempt == 0)' HoldReason Test3

Set attribute "HoldReason".

If the internals don't distinguish between errors and no matching jobs, I'll just need to catch RuntimeError and hope that the error was just a no matching job error and not something more serious?

Thanks,

Andrew
