Loading .buf files (only on Windows) #169

Open vgensini opened 5 years ago

vgensini commented 5 years ago

SHARPpy will not load .buf files (e.g., http://mtarchive.geol.iastate.edu/2018/09/25/bufkit/21/rap/rap_kmke.buf) on Windows 7 machine (64 bit). Problem occurs with both 1.4.0 (Andover) and 1.3.0 (Xenia).

The files load just fine in 1.3.0 (Xenia) via MacOSx.

Hey Victor,

Do you have any additional information about this issue? Have you done any debugging on your end? I'm working on getting the Andover version out, but I haven't gotten to look into this yet. Been busy.

Thanks!

Greg

Hi Greg! Sorry but nothing more at this point other than what is mentioned. I will try to look more in depth soon.

Great! I can give you some instructions of what to do with Andover that might help find out what's going on. If you run python full_gui.py --debug, the terminal will get very noisy and should help reveal where the issue is. I don't have a Windows 7 machine readily accessible, but I do know that a unit test exists in Andover to make sure the BUFKIT decoder works (test file is in examples/data/). It's been passing on Linux/Windows/macOS VMs for a while now. Maybe this is a file formatting/line endings issue?

FYI: Andover hooks straight into that BUFKIT archive now, so you probably won't need to worry about downloading from that archive anymore.
