To run a given test suite on a given machine, use the create_test command, issued from the scripts-acme directory in your ACME source tree:

• 1. cd ACME/cime/scripts-acme
  2. ./create_test test_suite [--compiler compiler --baseline-rootacme_baseline_dir -t test_id -r test_root_dir] [-(c|g) [-b baseline_subdir ]] [--project project_or_account ]
     
     1. machine - The ACME scripts will probe your machine name from the current nodename
     2. compiler - The compiler toolset you wish to use, examples are: gnu, intel, pgi. You do not need to provide this if you want the default compiler (the first compiler listed in the COMPILERS parameter for your machine)
     3. test_suite - The name of the test category you want to run, like acme_developer. You can also provide a list of test names.
     4. test_root_dir - The path where your test cases will be dumped. Default will be CESMSCRATCHROOT
     5. acme_baseline_dir - You only need to specify this if you want to use a different baseline area than is specified for your machine by the CCSM_BASELINE parameter
     6. -c/-g - Do a baseline comparison/generation. You do not have to do any baseline operations.
     7. baseline_subdir - The name of the baselines (usually the major release you're on) you want to use. The default will be <current-branch-name>. Note that the tool will always prepend the compiler to the baseline subdir. Our baselines are always segregated by compiler. Don't bother with this option unless you provided -c or -g.
     8. project_or_account - The id that lets you run batch jobs on this machine
     9. test_id  - a string appended to end of test name.  default is a date such as .20160201_223053.
  3. Once the tests are running, you'll want to see test results
     1. Case 1: Simple
        
        1. cd test_root_dir
        2. you will find a script named cs.status.(testid) You can run this script from the test root directory to see the status of tests being run within this suite
     2. Case 2: We have a more sophisticated script called wait_for_tests that provides extra capabilites like: waiting for tests to finish, converting results to CTest and submitting to a CDash dashboard
        
        1. cd test_root_dir
        2. <ACME>/scripts/acme/wait_for_tests [ -d buildname] */TestStatus
  4. Example: to run the 'acme_developer' suite on Edison using the Intel compiler (assuming everything has been set up and this is not the first run) and compare against v0.1 baselines, you would run:
     1. cd ACME/cime/scripts-acme
     2. ./create_test acme_developer -t acme_dev -c -b v0.1
     3. cd <CESMSCRATCHROOT>$SCRATCH/acme_scratch/edison
     4. ./cs.status.acme_dev
