Can we use new library when we develop a new case

[cosmos0x57]

hello, I am trying to develop a new case under the guidance of the _BOPTEST_Tutorial1developer, but there is a warning and many errors occurred when I try to compile the fmu file, they seems that I use some new classes in my case. if I don't want to change the classes,is there any way to solve the problem?

HEAD is now at 903a06999f Corrected info section File 'tworoompackage/package.mo' is part of library at 'tworoompackage', using library instead.

Are your new classes part of a library that is not IBPSA, Buildings, or IDEAS? Those are the three libraries in the compilation environment set up in the docker the tutorial uses. It is defined here: https://github.com/ibpsa/project1-boptest/blob/master/testing/Dockerfile. If you are using another dependent library for your model package, then it needs to be loaded somehow into the compilation environment and added to the MODELICAPATH environment variable.

@dhblum I'd like to ask a related question (hopefully an OK place to do so), as I'm also interested in developing a new use case. Looking at the Dockerfile you linked above, it appears that JModelica is a hard dependency for compiling a new FMU. I see some open issues around this, in particular this one: https://github.com/ibpsa/project1-boptest/issues/422. But it seems that, at the moment, JModelica is still required? Am I missing any examples or documentation? Thanks!

@davebiagioni At the moment we still use JModelica for unit testing of our existing test cases. As described in #422, eventually we want to move to OpenModelica as an open-source compiler for the test cases. One piece in that process is to ensure that all of our existing test cases can be compiled into FMUs with OpenModelica and those FMUs can be simulated by pyfmi. The other piece in that process will be to update the workflow of compiling BOPTEST test case FMUs to use OpenModelica as compiler instead of JModelica (basically, replace the Dockerfile you reference with one using OpenModelica). That second piece has not started, though I expect to soon, so there are no documentation/examples for that integration right now. In general, I anticipate the process of generating a BOPTEST test case described in the design documentation here and in the developer tutorial here won't change, except to switch out the actual FMU compilation from JModelica to OpenModelica. Hope that helps answer your question.

Yes, @dhblum, that helps a lot in terms of context. I appreciate the effort to support OpenModelica. Thanks!
