Problem at runtime in windows Simod v2.0.0

[iharsuvorau]

Hello, @mitushig3. Thanks for the interest. The previous version isn't supported. From the screenshot, it's also difficult for me to say what's the problem is. It says that a file is not found. Have you provided all the input?

The new version doesn't have the UI yet, but you can install it and use as a CLI-tool. The instructions are in the README. The Docker version, probably, would be easier to set up, because Simod has a set of Java and Python dependencies, that may complicate the installation.

I setup the docker version as you suggested. however, it still gives me a "File not found" error when I try to run any of the commands given in the README for the latest version. It seems it cannot find the "optimize_config.yml" file for example. Kindly direct me as to what I may be doing wrong because it does not seem to be an installation issue somehow (simod --help runs perfectly fine and so does simod command by itself).

@mitushig3 It's true. Recently, configuration samples have been moved, README hasn't been updated yet. The new location of configuration samples is at resources/config instead of config. You can run:

$ simod optimize --config_path resources/config/optimize_config.yml

However, you still need to provide your own event log and update the configuration you're running accordingly. Sample event logs were also removed from the repository.

@mitushig3 Just pushed a sample event log to resources/event_log. You might want to try that one.

I can finally make a successful run of the tool. Thank you for the prompt reply and the sample log to try. If I understand correctly, I can add the logs and modify the optimize_config to try out new logs like you have done for now?

Also, on my first run I ran into another error where it cannot generate the output as "Purchasingexample.bpmn" and therefore gives the error of "FileNot Found" later when trying to optimize the parameters. Do you know why that would happen? Were you yourself able to run and generate the output model?

PS: I checked the folders in cmd and the output folders have been created with the IDs but no sign of "Purchasingexample.bpmn" . And the first error is some java scripting error (see screenshots) then it starts to consequently give the FileNotFound error as mentioned above.

Found this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/15068584 for the Java but I am not sure exactly how to correct it.

So, with the help of a friend I was able to find a fix: to run 'xvfb-run simod optimize --config_path resources/config/optimize_config.yml' instead of the usual command because there seems to be some issue with there not being a display connected to the docker image. This helps me with my error for now at least and I am able to generate the outputs.
