I ran into problems with running the WRF 4.0.1 test cases (using the easyconfigs in easybuilders/easybuild-easyconfigs#7085) when too many cores were available.
Some tests were crashing because too many MPI ranks were used, and the domain size was too small...
It took me a while to realize why the tests were failing, because they were just exiting with exit code
1, not producing any output, so I've also enhanced the test step to read thersl.error.0000output file (from MPI rank 0) and include the output in the error message that is produced when the test failed to run.
