txt2osi.py throws DecodeError

[carstendroesser]

I'd like to convert an osi trace file to a human readable .txth-file and vice versa. When using the scripts at /format, txt2osi throws an error.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. create a .txth-file: python3 osi2read.py -d some_file.osi -o some_file_human_readable
2. convert .txth-file back to .osi: python3 txt2osi.py -d some_file_human_readable.txth

The following error is thrown:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "txt2osi.py", line 80, in <module>
    main()
  File "txt2osi.py", line 70, in main
    for message in sv:
  File "/some/path/to/open-simulation-interface/format/OSITrace.py", line 189, in get_messages_in_index_range
    message.ParseFromString(serialized_message)
google.protobuf.message.DecodeError: Error parsing message

When using -f separated as argument for osi2read.py, the error is as below:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "osi2read.py", line 63, in <module>
    main()
  File "osi2read.py", line 59, in main
    trace.make_readable(args.output)
  File "/some/path/to/open-simulation-interface/format/OSITrace.py", line 227, in make_readable
    for i in self.get_messages():
  File "/some/path/to/open-simulation-interface/format/OSITrace.py", line 189, in get_messages_in_index_range
    message.ParseFromString(serialized_message)
google.protobuf.message.DecodeError: Error parsing message

Could anyone help? The OSI File is not corrupted, as at some other point it can be read and replayed.

txt file format has been removed in 3.7.0 after long deprecation since 3.0.0. Closing related issue.
