Hi,
I’m trying to run atomate in offline mode because the compute nodes at our center cannot connect to the database. I have everything set up and running. But when I try to run any VASP workflows I get the following error in the FW_job.err file:

The VASP job seems to have run properly, but the FW_offline.json file is empty at the end of the run. Using lpad recover_offline gives the below error and the job fizzles out.

I was reading through some of the previous threads, but mine doesn’t seem to be a gzip-related error. I also tried changing the “db_file” parameter in my_fworker.yaml to null, and I still get the same errors. Any idea why this might be happening?
Thanks,
