test/em_les crashes on WRF fire

[BAMS]

Hi,
I'm trying to run the ideal testcase test/em_les in v4.6.1.
When I run the testcase in this folder (mpirun -n 1 ideal.exe), it throws an error related to WRF fire, see attached file.
However, to my understanding this should not be called in this example. Explicitly added the following to the namelist also didn't work:
&fire
ifire = 0,
/
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Please confirm that you run the standard version of WRFV4.6.1.

It will be helpful if you can upload namelist.input for me to take a look.

Hi Ming Chen,

Yes this is the standard v4.6.1 pulled from the WRF repo.
I didn't change anything in the namelist, but please find it attached here

The namelist.input you used is for real-data case. To run ideal LES simulation, please use the namelist.input in WRF/test/em_les.

This namelist is exactly the one that is in the WRF/test/em_les folder. Only thing I added was the &fire section in an attempt to turn fire off, which did not work. However, also without this section added, I get the same error.
Thanks

Any thoughts?

I am perplexed by your case because the rsl.error.0000 file you posted on 3 March indicates that you tried to read fuel information, which is only required for WRF-FIRE. I run a test LES case and cannot repeat such a model behavior, --- I am suspicious that somehow the codes you used to run this case may be damaged?

Anyway, would you please re-download WRF codes from our Github repository using the command git clone, then rerun this case? Please try WRFv4.6, which is well tested before its release.

Let me know if you still have the same issue.
