Headless XML generation doesn't properly handle "file" variable

[RoiArthurB]

Describe the bug XML generation file do not generate the good value for file variable

To Reproduce Simple GAML

model test

global {
    file shape_file_roads <- file("../includes/roads.shp") parameter: true;
    init {}
}

experiment test type: gui {
    parameter "Shapefile for the buildings : " var: shape_file_roads category: "GIS" ;
}

Headless generation command

$ gama-headless.sh -xml test Documents/Dev/tmp/gama-file/Sibate/models/Sibate_om2.gaml Documents/Dev/tmp/gama-file/Sibate/models/out.xml

Expected behavior The parameter value is value="file<int, geometry>('../includes/roads.shp')" but should be value="../includes/roads.shp"

Workaround Fixing the XML value by hand fix the issue

[romainreuillon]

Dear Gama Devs,

any news about this bug? Is it hard to solve?

(One of our OpenMOLE user requires this bug to be fixed in order to explore her model)

with best regards, Romain

[hqnghi88]

Hi, i try to fix it now.

[hqnghi88]

i pushed a workaround. if you use gama git base , you can try now, or wait for continuous build in 5 hours.

[romainreuillon]

Great!

OpenMOLE uses the gama container from the docker hub. I'll wait for the continuous build end to test the fix.

[hqnghi88]

OK i made the CI, please try.

[romainreuillon]

I just tried with the "continuous" tag of the docker hub but I run into a bug that has been corrected by @RoiArthurB

/home/reuillon/.openmole/simplet/.tmp/27e88307-7acd-47da-a563-d8db718e7f8d/container/cached/3d986e03b3388db071534279947be40619620549/fs/rootfs/_model_input_.xml (est un dossier)

[romainreuillon]

Is "continuous" the right tag?

[hqnghi88]

yes it is. no idea what is that issue, may be @RoiArthurB can manage it.

[RoiArthurB]

Hi, I'm sorry I did forget to do the commit... 🙈🙈🙈 @romainreuillon I'll relaunch all the CI, it all should be ready in less than 30 minutes I think :)

[RoiArthurB]

Issue fixed with the continuous version :

$ docker run --rm -ti -v $PWD/Sibate:/sibate gamaplatform/gama:continuous -xml Sibate_MAP_and_charts /sibate/models/Sibate_om.gaml /sibate/input.xml
