Can you also provide the commit number of your github head (type git log in your console to see it) as well as the full error message ?

I didn't really commit anything. I was trying to run a simulation locally. When this 'NA' is changed to kVA for instance, the simulation runs. @smartie2076 said that it might be that it is reading it as None?

[Bachibouzouk]

Even if you didn't commit, you are on a branch with a commit number at the tip of the branch (if you say "I am on dev" I could checkout dev but still not have the exact same version of dev depending we we last pulled it from the repository). Knowing the commit number will allow me to be sure my local code is exactly the same as yours ;)

okay added to the description @Bachibouzouk

dict_dso[UNIT] is apparently a float instead of being a string, I would look into where dict_dso is built in the code and also at the value os dict_dso[UNIT] just before the error.

You can use

import ipdb
ipdb.set_trace()

before "C0_data_processing.py", line 915 so that the simulation stops and you are in the debugger terminal and can check variables (faster than using print statements) (use c + ENTER to continue the simulation after the breakpoint)

[smartie2076]

It doesn not only happen to dict_dso but also to others. My example:

csv file:

,unit,project_data
country,str,NA
label,str,project_data
latitude,str,0
longitude,str,0
project_id,str,1
project_name,str,Benchmark test for economic KPI calculated in E2 and C2
scenario_id,str,3
scenario_name,str,Economic_KPI_E2_C2

Error message:

09:40:14-ERROR-Parametr country of asset project_data is missing. The simulation may continue, but errors during execution or in the results can be expected.

I am on PR #520, revision number 518ed4f164a068820cf531ad3f135b4092a113d4.
