Problems with VeSPA DataSim and Analysis

WBoschen · February 10, 2022, 4:59pm

Hi everyone,
I’ve recently installed VeSPA and currently I’m running into some issues with using DataSim and Analysis. Both Pulse and Simulation work at the present moment, but whenever I attempt to import a previously created Experiment from Simulation into DataSim, I receive the following error:

Furthermore, when trying to run Analysis on a Philips .spar file I receive a shorter yet similar error:

Does anyone have any advice on how to resolve this issue? I’ve checked the listed file (plot_panel_spectrum.py) and nothing seems to be out of the ordinary.

Thank you in advance!

Hi Warren,

What OS, Python version etc. are you on?

Thanks,

Brian.

bsoher · February 10, 2022, 9:08pm

OK, never mind. It I bothered to look it seems like Windows (10?) and Python 3.7?

But, usually when Vespa crashes it catches the error and pops up an error dialog with a lot of additional info in it that can help me diagnose other basic questions. Did that pop up and give you the option to copy the text output to the clipboard? If so, can you send that to me or put it in the thread, please.

My next step is to try to recreate the error. I can not do that on my Win 10 dev machine. DataSim works fine loading the “Example One-Pulse” Experiment. So, maybe you are using a newer version of matplotlib than I am? If you can tell me what packages you have installed in your ‘python37’ env, I can continue to try to troubleshoot.

thanks,

Brian.

Vespa was installed on Windows 10 and in a Python 3.7 environment with Miniconda3. Neither DataSim nor Analysis outright crash - the window becomes white and is unresponsive but a crash report is never generated.

My bet is it’s a matplotlib. I’m still in 3.3 for mpl. wxPython are the same. I"ll let you know,

Brian.

bsoher · February 16, 2022, 11:21pm

you might try uninstalling mpl 3.5 and reinstall 3.3 for now?

Brian.

WBoschen · February 21, 2022, 8:46pm

Just uninstalled matplotlib 3.5 and reinstalled 3.3. Works great! Thanks again for all your assistance.

Hi Warren & Brian, I recently found this same error with Vespa-1.0.2 on my 2018 MacBook Pro running OS 10.15.7 with Anaconda managing a python3.7 conda virtual environment (“vespa”), while trying to load a GE P-file.

As suggested, the problem was fixed by downgrading matplotlib from 3.5.1 to 3.3.4:

(vespa) Aoraki:vespa carl$ pip uninstall matplotlib
(vespa) Aoraki:vespa carl$ pip install -Iv matplotlib==3.3.4

Cheers,
Carl

Thanks Carl! Apologies for this issue still being open. Got caught up in funding issues (and teenage children at home ;)) so finding time has been difficult. I think that I’ve found the offending code in the display object, and have fixed it. But, now need to find time to test on multiple platforms before doing a release. Hopefully before November.

Best,

Brian.
