I got error when trying to run the tests. I think adding a bit more of information might help who follow these instructions for the first time. Also, I'm just submitting this PR to check our protocol for contributions.

Maria, this issue can be solved by running tests outside the /common/software/... folder due to the writing permissions.

Yes, Johnny, that was the issue. But I would like to point that no new user can write on /common/software/.., since they will get a "quota exceeded" error. So I guess the best practice is to tell the new user to use /pscratch already to build the clone. The other point is that when loading the export's to get the y3cl_je environment, Y3_CLUSTER_CPP_DIR is pointing to the shared installation rather than writable clone, and that causes these writing-related errors with ctest...then, we should have a note in bold to the user check that Y3_CLUSTER_CPP_DIR points to the writable (/pscratch./...) clone before run ctest.
