Logistics Module "invalid type comparison" Error

[WavEC]

I was trying to test the Logistics/Installation module. When i try to run the tool, it says PASSED on the inputs and gives green light for the run but however, returns an error shortly after. The error is the following:

CRITICAL - dtocean_gui.main - A TypeError occurred: invalid type comparison
CRITICAL - dtocean_gui.main -   File "C:\Users\wazec\dtocean\lib\site-packages\dtocean_gui\main.py", line 185, in run

    raise TypeError("invalid type comparison")

I tried to have a look at the different scripts it mentions but could not trace the source of the error. Just for testing, I commented out the part of the cable burial but the same error appeared.

Hi, I'm having a little trouble validating this one because of issue #16.

Is the "Jetting capability [yes/no]" column set in the "Installation Equipment: Cable Burial Data" table? We don't check for completeness of tables, just that some data has been entered.

It might be something to consider validating that the entered data is complete.

[WavEC]

This column was set in the Equipment database. If it was implemented in the end in the core, we cannot say...

[H0R5E]

How were you testing it then?

[H0R5E]

OK, so assuming this test proceeded using the example database, the values for "Jetting capability [yes/no]" are stored as a boolean, whereas the interface is expecting a string.

This highlights the issue with type mismatch in blank tables, so I think its important to try and define and implement column types as a long term goal.
