Problem occurres when testing [message #1743254]

Hello to all!

After I've started forte.exe and check my application an error occurred.
When I view all Inputs (INIT and so on) there is "N/A".
I'm now using the new version 1.8 - in 1.8M1 it works fine.

I get this:
The following report will be sent to Eclipse:

Hi,

thanks for reporting this. After looking at the code the error message itself my be a false positive. Does the monitoring in general work when ignoring it? If not do you have an example how I can reproduce the problem?

BTW: with the new error reporting you can also just press the submitt button and it will be send to a server at Eclipse.org where we can analyse, comment and generate Bugzilla issues from it. This may be even more convinient then posting it into the forum.

Dear Alois,

thank you for your answer. I will use the error reporting next time.
For a better explaination of the issue I will turn to german language by telling step-by-step:

1) Ich habe in 4DIAC eine Applikation bestehend aus mehreren FBs (Basic, Composite, Subscriber/Publisher mit ID fbdk[].mqtt[tcp://localhost:1883, forte, xyz])
2) Die dazugehörigen FBs wurden exportiert, mit CMAKE generiert und VS kombiliert - keine Fehler forte.exe
3) Nun starte ich in 4DIAC die lokale Forte, wähle die Applikation und klicke auf Download.
4) Interessant dabei, im rechten unteren Bereich "Console", wo in der Version 1.8M1 immer in rot Text stand, kommt bei der Version 1.8 nichts - dies nur am Rande.
5) Ich wähle im Menu "Online" das System aus
6) In der Applikation klicke auf einen beliebigen Block - "Show all" - und bei den In- und Outputs steht N/A, was bis jetzt nie so war.
- es hat den Eindruck als ob die FORTE Probleme macht...

Best, Wolfgang

Maybe the problem is the exported OSCAT library and so on? When compiling i get several errors!

..\..\..\src\modules\OSCAT\Control\FB_FT_PIWL2.cpp(59): error C3861: "T_PLC_US": Bezeichner wurde nicht gefunden.

Hi,

this looks really like it is the issue. When you download your application are you getting no such type errors? Maybe there was some hand made adjustments in the OSCAT code. I have to talk with Monika who did most of the work. In the meantime a quick fix would be to just copy the OSCAT directory from the last 1.7 release to the 1.8 release. FB code has not changed and it should complie.

Hi Alois,

I copied the OSCAT directory from 1.7 to 1.8. No Errors! Neither in VS nor when downloading.
But when I'm starting to monitor the application the in- and outputs show grayed "N/A" - please see IMG.

This is very strange. After my tests the new monitoring seemed to work much better then the old and not the other way round.

Could you be so kind and delete the .log file in your metadata directory and then perform the whole test again. Maybe then we can see somthing in the logfile that helps us to trace the issue down.

Thanks,
Alois

Hi Wolfgang,

it looks like that the communication between the ide and your FORTE breaks down. Is your device crashing during monitoring or during download?

As I can see, when I'm starting forte.exe and press download, I'm missing all lines in the console:
for example:
...
TRACE: T#02647ms: InputEvent: Function Block (SVR) got event: 1 (maxid: 1)
TRACE: T#02647ms: Starting ECTRACE: T#02647ms: CEventChainExecutionThread::startEventChain
TRACE: T#02647ms: InputEvent: Function Block (SVR) got event: 254 (maxid: 1)
TRACE: T#02647ms: OutputEvent: Function Block sending event: 1 (maxid: 1)
TRACE: T#02647ms: InputEvent: Function Block (MGR) got event: 1 (maxid: 1)
TRACE: T#02647ms: OutputEvent: Function Block sending event: 1 (maxid: 1)
and so on
....

forte is running and not breaking down.

I spend over the weekend some time on testing this issue with different setup but so far I couldn't reproduce the issue. Do you have a simple test setup which would allow me to reproduce the problem?

thanks,
Alois
