[bug]: Unable to locate a modulefile for 'spack/spack' in build-wrf.shand build_wps.sh

[negin513]

Describe the bug

When running the build-wrf.sh or build-wps.sh script in the apps/wrf directory, the build process fails with an error message indicating that the necessary module files cannot be located:

Specifically, in this script SHARED_APP variable is set to the apps directory, and the script assumes that the necessary module files are located in this directory. However, apps directory, copied from this repository does not include the modulefiles required in this line and exits with the following error:

ModuleCmd_Use.c(231):ERROR:64: Directory '/apps/modulefiles' not found
ModuleCmd_Load.c(213):ERROR:105: Unable to locate a modulefile for 'spack/spack'
/apps/wrf/build_wrf.sh: line 67: source: filename argument required
source: usage: source filename [arguments]

This error occurs because the necessary module files are not present in the directory specified by SHARED_APP and it is also missing in the repository.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Build a cluster
2. Follow the steps in azurehpc wrf readme documentation
3. Run the step for building wrf with any different combination of arguments.

This error occurs because the necessary module files are not present in the directory specified by SHARED_APP.

Did you install spack using apps/spack/build_spack.sh (See wrf prerequisites (in readme)), this script creates the missing spack modulefile in SHARED_APP.
