Cyclist data simulation tables appear empty

[chiudaniels]

When loading the simulation after executing the job on the cloud server, the all the tables for the simulation appear as empty, and as a result when the attempting to plot the warning Error:null is given. I tried to download the sqlite table for the job directly from the http://cycrun.fuelcycle.org/ and load the result, however I am given the error

Load simulations from the current database failed

Hi @chiudaniels
I don't know which simulation output you are trying to open, but I tried the last one, and the sqlite file seems to be just fine.
(I am using DB Browser for sqlite to open the sqlite file)
(I have a problem with some of them, but for those I can't access the input file either...)

[chiudaniels]

@bam241 I was also trying the latest one and the error was given when I tried to load it on cyclist (sorry should have clarified more). It's weird because when I checked the sqlite file it seemed fine to me too! Maybe my build of cyclist is the problem.
Aside from that is there a way for me to access the local error logs so I can look into the error and know more than just error:null?

[bam241]

I need to confess I don't have a lot of experiences with Cyclist, maybe @FlanFlanagan will have an idea to help you...

[FlanFlanagan]

Can you send describe what you're actually doing at the time the error occurs?

Thanks!

[chiudaniels]

I really wasn't clear with my problem, sorry! So from the beginning, I was going through the user tutorial on the fuelcycle website and downloaded the success input and loaded that on the cyclus application. After I executed the job on the local server, the job had the status ready. However, when I continued with the tutorial and loaded the simulation, all the tables when dragged into the work space were empty, so when I tried plotting it with axis it gave the error:null. I tried downloading and using the successful output db as well as the output zip from http://cycrun.fuelcycle.org/ (which should still be latest job) and loading those directly, but a dialogue box appeared with the error
Load simulations from the current database failed
I'm not sure where the console log for errors are saved, but I can try to post them if I can find the file where it's saved!

[FlanFlanagan]

Cyclist silences most console log errors, except for the ones that show in the Cyclist output pane (at the bottom of the application).

If you run Cyclist from the terminal you will get the outputs, but I'm not sure that's worth it. I think what's happening is the database no longer works with cyclist.

[FlanFlanagan]

As to the first issue, what I think is happening is the Cyclus run is not executing on the local server and the returned output is empty.

[FlanFlanagan]

I'm having this issue with other output databases I'm building. I believe this is an issue we need to discuss at the next cyclus dev call.

[FlanFlanagan]

Okay so, I can import it on my version of Cyclist on windows.

How did you install Cyclist? Did you clone the repo or use a binary?

[chiudaniels]

I installed cyclist on linux using Conda because the debian package manager was giving me problems (which I assumed was caused because I'm running ubuntu 17.10, but I haven't tested this so it's unconfirmed).
I also installed the Cyclist package via http://fuelcycle.org/user/tutorial/install_launch_cyclist.html separately for the GUI.

[FlanFlanagan]

Ahh, okay. So, Cyclist is the gui. It's confusing and mostly on me but CycIC lives inside Cyclist.

I think the packages at the link you supplied are an outdated version of Cyclist. I'm not sure what the status of the Cyclist Conda package is. @scopatz might have more info on that.

I can work getting new install packages for Cyclist but I can't make one for Mac

[FlanFlanagan]

Update: I built a version that works on Windows oddly enough, but the Linux installer is being difficult.

[scopatz]

I haven't built a conda-forge version of cyclist due to the difficulty in getting java on the various platforms.
