Error during PC Experiment build

[AB543-ai]

I moved some parts from a block-diagram into a new one and started recieving this error during building:

reversing the changes, restarting, cleaning and creating a new Application didnt help. There are no other problems flagged

If the workspace has no errors then it should work. Did you try clicking on menu project > clean ? If this didn't help create a new workspace and import your project there and try again.

If possible share a gif of your workflow.

Let us know if this helped.

hi,
cleaning, creating a new workspace and import didnt help. The workspace has no errors.

There is no git connected

Hi,

Thanks for trying. Can you zip your workspace in its current state and send it to [email protected] ?
We will take a look.

Hi, i have a similar error.

Fresh install of the latest version, followed the basic tutorial without any issue until it comes to PC Experiment build.

Here is the console output / CodeGeneration log :

Is there a way to get more details about the errors ? I can't find any file called "Makelog.txt" anywhere on the computer and after checking most of the log files in the project and installation folders i still have no clue what cause the error.

On the other hand the ECU code generation works perfectly fine. I tried the above recommendation (cleaning project, new workspace...) with no luck. The behavior is the same if use the projects from the tutorial, the examples downloaded from github or if i build a very simple project myself ...

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Hi @PLSTCHLC ,

Thank you for question.
Lets try some basic troubleshooting first.

1. Normally after downloading the product, followed by running the .exe it unpacks itself. Then from unpacked target folder, you have to click on Setup ASCET-DEVELOPER Community Edition 7.9.0.exe. If you have done this then the Experiment Environment Package should also be installed. Can you verify that? If everything went correctly, then Experiment Environment should appear in your windows app area
   

2. If it is installed lets do a check with built in example. Create a new workspace and from the welcome page , click on the board computer example.
   

Then select /BoardComputer/BoardComputer_PC.launch and run it.
If this worked , it means the tool installation is ok.

3. If steps above worked, then probably your project is broken. Just zip your workspace in its current state and send it to [email protected]

Hi @deyabhik and thank you for quick reply.

To answer your points from above :

1. Yes, experiment environement is installed and i can run it. However i have not figured out how to create a new workspace from scratch in this software and i can't find the demo workspace anywhere on my computer, like it was not copied during installation...

2. I guess you mean create a new workspace in ASCET, right ? Is there a specific way of doing it or just creating a new folder and specifiying its location when prompted at startup is enough ? (Doing it that way i can see my newly created workspace name above the menu ribbon so i giess it is ok...)
   Then, when i click on the board computer example from the welcome page just nothing happen, no file or project opens ... If i click the esdl example it opens, i have not tried every examples but some will open and some will not, again like something is missing from the install...

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling everything, with a computer restart in between, in admin mode, ect... But the behavior is still the same.

Any suggestions on what i could check on my side ?

Thank you again.

Hi @PLSTCHLC ,
EE workspaces are normally created automatically by the PC launch.
To create a new ASCET workspace, click File > switch workspace > give a new folder Thats it.
Because your board computer example is not working, then something is really broken.
Delete all ascet installation folders on disk
Delete registrz keys under Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ETAS\ASCET\7.9 and Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ETAS\ASCET\SERVERCETASASCET-DEVELOPER7.9
