Note that it is not an indefinite-depth search, so if you have cloned the easybuilders/easybuild-easyconfigs git repo then you need 'easybuild-easyconfigs/easybuild/easyconfigs' on your robot-path.

I just added c7567cd
Is that comprehensible enough?

If no match is found sub-toolchains are also considered,
see [the toolchain diagram][common-toolchains#toolchains_diagram] for an overview of the toolchain hierarchy.
In this case the following filepaths (also relative to each entry in the robot search path) are considered if none of the above was found:

* `OpenMPI/4.1.4-GCCcore-11.3.0-test.eb`
* `OpenMPI/OpenMPI-4.1.4-GCCcore-11.3.0-test.eb`
* `o/OpenMPI/OpenMPI-4.1.4-GCCcore-11.3.0-test.eb`
* `OpenMPI-4.1.4-GCCcore-11.3.0-test.eb`

!!! note

Sometimes easyconfig files are needed even when the modules for the dependencies are already available,
