This was reported 3 times in today's macromethods class and possibly even more of the dozen people there (maybe all) encountered it. I did not get the error on my MacBook Pro. I suspect the problem is all the students had UCSF security software installed on their Mac laptops and that interfered with ChimeraX receiving the job identifier returned by the Boltz server. Instead it got an empty return. But I checked on the server Justin Sim setup and his job actually ran and completed. So it was only that return of job id during submission that failed. Interestingly it worked for Justin when he used my Boltz install on the network drive on a VM at US-IL-1 data center. The one that failed was at EU-RO-1 (Romania). It is also possible that the failure to get the job id is caused by improper closing of the socket by the server right after it sends the job id. The server used socket.close() but some online sources say socket.shutdown() followed by socket.close() is important so that sent data is flushed so the client does not lose it. The online material seems vague on this. And the network drive Boltz install was the same Justin's Boltz install and they only one worked. But maybe the failure mode depended on network latency. I added the socket.shutdown() but I have no way to test since RunPod Boltz server has never failed for me on multiple machines (that have no UCSF security software on them) in about 100 predictions on about 30 different virtual machines.

In summary I think this is once again UCSF security untraceably interfering with network traffic in the name of security making computation at UCSF impractical.

I've advised the students to use the US-IL-1 Runpod datacenter with network drive install and we'll see if that helps. Unfortunately during class RunPod had no available GPUs at that datacenter. It seems RunPod was a poor choice for commercial GPUs since they cannot meet the demand.
