Permission denied for boost during report creation

[wisehart]

Hi,

I am running InsightCAE (Version 3.0.1-g2ca3579b (HEAD)) on Linux Mint. Installed it from the ubuntu binaries repo as specified in the manual.

I set up a 2dAirfoilPolar case and in runs successfully. But when I try to produce the report, I get this error from boost:

+================================ ERROR =================================+			boost::filesystem::create_directory: Permission denied:		"/20211213154742__4a4b"

+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

I think it tries to make a directory somewhere in the root filesystem and does not have root permissions.

Hi wisehart, thanks for the report. It appears that the software tries to create a temporary directory in the (non-writable) root directory. Is it possible that the TMPDIR environment variable might be messed up? I'll check in due course for possible other causes.

Do you have a full console log for me?

Hi,

I tried again this morning and now there are several things happening now:

It now ends with a map::at error:

`

+================================ ERROR =================================+			map::at

+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ `

Also some other functions do not work anymore. I changed the working directory, but the OpenFoam folders are sitll created in the old place. Also, the "clean" button in the GUI does not work anymore. I attached the console log. run_log.log

OK, thanks for the log.

The displayed error is misleading and just a follow-up error. The actual problem is recognizable in the log (below: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'Insight'). There is something messed up with the python path.

I haven't used the airfoil simulation for quite a while. It obviously needs some maintenance. I will update it's result image rendering code to some updated method without the need for pvbatch asap and get back to you once this is done.

Regards

I have updated the VTK rendering part in the airfoil app and put an update into our development repository ( http://downloads.silentdynamics.de/ubuntu_dev/ ). This should now no longer need python for the rendering part.

Switched into dev ppa and got your fix! Works like a charm. Thank you very much.
