[JOSS Review] Install missing dependencies and error hidden in logs #74

Closed aquilesC closed 5 months ago

aquilesC commented 11 months ago

Describe the bug Following the installation steps in the documentation, the program does not run because some dependencies are missing. The first one I encountered was PyTorch, but there are others missing.

This happened after install RodTracker, and persisted after installing ParticleDetection.

The error is logged but hidden, so it took me a while to find out what was going on. It would be convinient, perhaps, to find another way of dealing with these type of exceptions.

Dear @aquilesC, I have notified our main developer, @a-niem , about the issues. He will be available from this Thursday, 30.11, and reply you as soon as possible. Meanwhile, could you please provide the additional information:

  1. From which branch did you install the packages
  2. What system/OS do you have
  3. It would be important that you provide the logfile which you have obtained

Many thanks!

Dear @aquilesC,

the installation problems are already resolved in the develop branch. There, the installation process should go without problems, if it is done from the fresh virtual environment created with venv. We will update the joss-paper branch and software documentation accordingly in the beginning of the next week.

Thank you for pointing our the bug.

Dear @aquilesC,

the master as well as joss-paper branches are updated with the latest program version. The installation problems you've encountered should have been resolved and the documentation updated. Please let us know if there are any other issues.

A popup window has been added that warns users when unhandled exceptions occur during program execution. It will also be shown when ImportErrors occur during startup of the application, e.g. when libraries are missing as described above.
