# bug-1896: Job arrays ignore the indices given in -J: arr[1-3] and arr[1,5,9] both become elements [0]..[2]
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
**Observed:** submitting `xcecli jobs submit -J 'arr[1-3]' -q normal sleep 300` created elements numbered from 0:
|
|
```
|
|
Job <1-0-1790742148-0[0]> is submitted to default queue <normal>.
|
|
1-0-1790742148-0[0] admin RUN normal xce 1*worker* arr[0]
|
|
1-0-1790742148-0[1] admin RUN normal xce 1*worker* arr[1]
|
|
1-0-1790742148-0[2] admin RUN normal xce 1*worker* arr[2]
|
|
```
|
|
**Expected:** the elements carry the indices the user gave -- [1], [2], [3] here; [1], [5], [9] for `arr[1,5,9]`; steps such as `[1-10:2]` honored -- as in LSF, whose -J array syntax XCE follows (LSF indices start at 1).
|
|
**Impact:** wrong result for every array job whose indices are not exactly 0..n-1: element numbers, %I substitution in output/input file names, and any index-based job control (`jobs kill <id>[5]`) refer to indices the user never asked for; gaps and steps are silently dropped.
|
|
**Found by:** user question while verifying bug-1894's array-job check, 2026-09-29.

## Environment
|
|
- OS: no /etc/os-release; Docker container; NixOS kernel; kernel Linux 6.18.33 x86_64
|
|
- libc: glibc 2.42-47 (interpreter /nix/store/wb6rhpznjfczwlwx23zmdrrw74bayxw4-glibc-2.42-47/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2)
|
|
- Toolchain: gcc (GCC) 15.2.0, meson 1.9.1
|
|
- Build: asan (xce.build)
|
|
- Code: scheduler-framework @ 38afb98c-dirty
|
|
- Deployment: local 3-node HA controller cluster + xcecd_virtual worker + scheduler + apiserver on :8080 (deploy-ha.sh + start-all.sh)
|
|
|
|
## Reproduction
|
|
1. Deploy a cluster with an apiserver (deploy-ha.sh + scripts/start-all.sh); `xcecli login -u admin -p admin --url http://localhost:8080`
|
|
2. `xcecli jobs submit -J 'arr[1-3]' -q normal sleep 300 </dev/null; xcecli jobs list -u all`
|
|
- Frequency: deterministic -- 1/1, 2026-09-29 (/home/claude/tmp/xce-1894b)
|
|
- Evidence: code path -- createArrayName() parses the indices correctly ([1,2,3]), but CreateJob keeps only `arraySize = len(parsedIndices)`; the submit message carries only arraySize (controller.capnp), the WAL_JOB_ARRAY_SUBMIT entry only (base_jobid, array_size) (persist.h), and elements are expanded as base+0..base+size-1 by the controller and by the apiserver's rawJobArrayToModels.
