[esp-r] Re: Failed Simulations in tester

[Ferguson, Alex]

Hi Adam,

It's possible that a floating point exception would trigger the errors you encounter. I advise running tester with the -p command to point to a single test case, and -vv to dump runtime output:

./tester.pl -v --databases /usr/esru/development_branch/esp-r /usr/esru/development_branch/esp-r/bin/bps --ref_loc /usr/esru/development_branch/esp-r/bin/ --test_loc /usr/esru/development_branch/esp-r/bin/ -p /Path/to/the/case/you/want/to/test.cfg  -vv


Tester will dump simulation messages to the screen for the single test case, and possibly give you hints on where the problem lies.

Subject: [esp-r] Failed Simulations in tester

Hello Everyone,

I have been attempting to run the tester scripts for some time now. When I try to create a results archive with tester using a clean version of development_branch, I have a few test cases which crash. I will provide details for how I compiled the branch, ran tester, and the problems I have encountered.

I checked out development_branch @r9232 and launched Cygwin on my Windows XP machine. I compiled ESP-r using the following command:

./Install -d /usr/esru/development_branch/ --xml --no_training --extra-debug --silent

Out of habit, I have been using the --extra-debug switch. Once ESP-r compiled, I navigated to tester/scripts and issued the following command:

./tester.pl -v --databases /usr/esru/development_branch/esp-r /usr/esru/development_branch/esp-r/bin/bps --ref_loc /usr/esru/development_branch/esp-r/bin/ --test_loc /usr/esru/development_branch/esp-r/bin/ --create_historical_archive ESRU_dev_cyg.tar.gz

Tester runs to completion with most test cases running without issue. However, I get the following errors:

Depending on the test case, the errors were either floating point exceptions or segmentation errors.

I am curious if anyone else in the community has encountered these issues or can duplicate what I have been observing. Perhaps I am just running tester incorrectly. I'm going to run tester on my Ubuntu version next.

Cheers,
