oneAPI 2021.1 compiler modulefiles isseue with Lmod (`is-avail` command does not exist)

[dodo]

I noticed that Lmod 8.4.19(latest version) do not support `is-avail` for now and it makes problem at  "/opt/intel/oneapi/modulefiles/compiler/2021.1.1`

```

if { [ is-avail $cmplr_root/linux/lib/oclfpga/modulefiles/oclfpga ] } {

     module load $cmplr_root/linux/lib/oclfpga/modulefiles/oclfpga
}

```

So I use `try-load` of Lmod:

```

module try-load $cmplr_root/linux/lib/oclfpga/modulefiles/oclfpga

```

However this requires tidious job for evey oneapi update in future.  Is there any better options for it?

Hi Lee,

I have checked the Lmod user guide 8.4.19 and I can see that is-avail has been mentioned as a functionality. I cannot find any reference of is-avail being removed.

But for the logic you are trying:

if { [ is-avail $cmplr_root/linux/lib/oclfpga/modulefiles/oclfpga ] } {

   module load $cmplr_root/linux/lib/oclfpga/modulefiles/oclfpga

}

where you want to replace is-avail , i have a found a similar functionality in one of OneAPI files where they have used file exists instead of is-avail:

if { [file exists $modulefileroot/init_opencl] } {

  module load $modulefileroot/init_opencl

 }

You can try this and see if it works for you. Let us know if you face any issues

Ah, by the way, I figured out default environment-modules of centos 7 is 3.2.10 which does not support `is-avail`. Since `is-avail` is supported from environment-modules  4.1.0 and above, I hope oneapi tutorial will clarify this point in future.
