Update Tcl modulefile template to use the `depends-on` command to autoload modules if Lmod is the current module tool. Autoloading modules with `module load` command in Tcl modulefile does not work well for Lmod at some extend. An attempt to unload then load designated module is performed each time such command is encountered. It may lead to a load storm that may not end correctly with large number of module dependencies. `depends-on` command should be used for Lmod instead of `module load`, as it checks if module is already loaded, and does not attempt to reload this module. Lua modulefile template already uses `depends_on` command to autoload dependencies. Thus it is already considered that to use Lmod with Spack, it must support `depends_on` command (version 7.6+). Environment Modules copes well with `module load` command to autoload dependencies (version 3.2+). `depends-on` command is supported starting version 5.1 (as an alias of `prereq-all` command) which was relased last year. This change introduces a test to determine if current module tool that evaluates modulefile is Lmod. If so, autoload dependencies are defined with `depends-on` command. Otherwise `module load` command is used. Test is based on `LMOD_VERSION_MAJOR` environment variable, which is set by Lmod starting version 5.1. Fixes #36764 |
