Monitoring script stops on unknown uid

[sterni1971]

Hello!
Today I noticed that my monitoring script is failing. The problem is that a user account was removed from LDAP, but the user still had a running job. I got an exception: getpwuid(): uid not found: 12345.

My code:

        try:
            jobs = pyslurm.Jobs.load().to_dict()
            partitions = pyslurm.Partitions.load().to_dict()
            nodes = pyslurm.Nodes.load().to_dict()
        except KeyError as e:
                print(‘Exception accessing job and partition information.’)
                print(e)
                pass

I found err_on_invalid in utils/helpers.pyx, but I can't find a way to set it to false.

Best regards!
Sven

Hi @sterni1971,

yeah I see - It makes sense to not fail here but instead just return the UID as a string if it can't be resolved to a name.
I'll make a fix here soon.
