'got an unexpected keyword argument 'hpc' in 'AgriPV - Coffee Plantation with Tree Modeling.py' #472

Hi there,

Thanks for your effort in this toolkit.

Recently, when I tried to run the example code 'AgriPV - Coffee Plantation with Tree Modeling.py', I met a bug : TypeError: makeScene() got an unexpected keyword argument 'hpc' as shown below. image

I ran it in Windows system, did I miss something? I noticed that in installment guidance, it indicated the associated softwares needed for Windows may be slightly out of date. Could it be a version issue?

I'll appreciate it if you can provide some suggestions or help.

Sincerely

I probably havent updated the journal for the latest bifacial_Radiance journal. The HPC input is now taken only when you create the RadianceObj and the AnalysisObj, and then it just remembers throughout. I.e.:

RadianceObj(name=’My_simulation’, path=folderforresults, hpc = False)

All the flag does is give a couple more seconds when searching for created files so it doesn’t fail because of the parallelized read/write. So having it as False is okay specially for windows runs; you could just remove “hpc” input to that function on the journal and it should run.

I will hopefully update the journal itself soon 😊 thanks for pointing that out

This has been fixed by v0.4.3 or v0.4.4
