Missing baseConfig.ini file when running Circuitscape algs

[mjmolivo]

Hello,

I followed your tutorial for modeling landscape connectivity with Biodispersal (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yc9IjOSpi6Q) But when I launch the algorithm "Random start points" on my friction layer and habitat patches, this message appears in the log :

Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users/utilisateur/AppData/Roaming/QGIS/QGIS3\profiles\default/python/plugins\BioDispersal\algs\circuitscape_algs.py", line 259, in processAlgorithm fin = open(base_config_file,"rt") FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\Users/utilisateur/AppData/Roaming/QGIS/QGIS3\profiles\default/python/plugins\BioDispersal\algs\baseConfig.ini'

I tried to uninstall/reinstall the extension on QGIS (v3.28.8), the same message shows up. I installed Circuitscape on Julia (1.9.4), still shows up. My OS : Windows 10 Pro

Do you know how can I solve this problem ?

Thanks

This is a indeed a bug. Can you copy following file into directory C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\QGIS\QGIS3\profiles\default\python\plugins\BioDispersal\algs : https://we.tl/t-3zt2RZDRIT

Then relaunch algorithm

Thanks for your reply, I just relaunched the algorithm with the wetransfer file and it seems to work pretty well.

I think there's another problem once my random start points are generated into my "launch" folder. When I try "Aggregates Circuitscape results", I have now this :

Inconsistent number of maps : 0 current maps vs 10 start points layers Execution failed after 0.03 secondes

I checked my "launch" folder and everything should be ok (picture below)

Is there something I missed in the previous processes ?

Thanks

You are missing the actual Circuitscape launches :-) The algorithm prepare a Julia script calling Circuitscape (see 1m40s in Tutorial). You have to launch this script from Julia interpretor (download it if necessary). THEN you will be able to agregate results.

Thanks, I had to change the output files of the .ini in my folder to make the jl script work. I retried with only 5 points/launches and I have now 9 files into the InteropCircuitscapeBO folder, but the Aggregate Circuitscape results alg keeps telling me I have unconsistent number of maps (1 current maps vs 5 start points layers), still no results.
