Misleading job cycle time given in error message #6

Closed jasonlharvey closed 4 years ago

jasonlharvey commented 4 years ago

The error message output when look-ahead time is not less than data cycle time is misleading.

I had set the data cycle time to 0.05 seconds but forgot to set the look-ahead time, and the expected error message still says my data cycle time was 0.1 seconds. I verified that my data was actually cycling at 20 Hz, so it's just a misleading message. The misleading part is highlighted below:

Manager::determine_job_cycle_time():2117 ERROR: The cycle time for this job is less than the HLA lookahead time! The HLA Lookahead time (0.1 seconds) must be less than or equal to the job cycle time (0.1 seconds). Make sure 'lookahead_time' in your input or modified-data file is less than or equal to the 'THLA_DATA_CYCLE_TIME' time specified in the S_define file for the send_requested_data(), send_cyclic_data(), and receive_cyclic_data() jobs.

We get the job cycle from Trick using this call right before the error message: job_cycle_time = exec_get_job_cycle( NULL );

Do you have have a default job cycle time specified that is getting overwritten at runtime? If so this could be the cause of the job cycle time not being what you expected.

I see the error now and I will fix it.
