Running a Ganga job locally through a Docker container throws syntax error

[egede]

Your analysis to find the syntax error looks perfectly correct. I am confused by why that did not work. Are few potential pitfalls:

• Did you create a new job from scratch or just copy the previous job. If you just copy the previous one, it will not rewrite the jobscript.
• Are you sure that you changed the code that is actually executed. If you did a pip install ganga and at the same time checked out ganga from GitHub, you may well have two instances of the code and edit the wrong one.

If you make a pull request with the suggested change above, I am happy to test it.

Thanks for the hints! I created new jobs every time but I think I checked out ganga from GitHub as well as pip installed ganga at the same time. I'll rerun the tests and confirm tomorrow.

So, I was indeed running pip install ganga but making changes locally :)

Installed Ganga from source and tested the fix. It worked. Opened a PR #2301
