I appear to be able to read a root file through
from within root or c++ code (and presumably python will work as well.
I also appear to be able to use this kind of filename with hadd
What I fail to manage is opening the file with root from the command line:
any clues for the third item?
(I’m afraid non-LHCb members won’t be able to test with the file indicated.)
It’s too bad this question is still not answered. I think that the issue boils down to the treatment in TChain::Add and TChain::ParseTreeFilename (root.cern.ch/doc/master/classTC … 3e947cedfa)
If I read this correctly, the problem comes in root.cern.ch/doc/master/TChain_ … tml#l02072, actually on line 2100 and 2136, where the question mark is not parsed correctly. An easy patch would be to put an exception of
if( filename.Contains("?svcClass=")){
//parse correctly
}
