Simulator for Term 2 fills up file-system with huge log file

fantauzzi commented 7 years ago

I let the simulator run, and it filled up my file-system, it keeps writing to this log file:

/home/fanta/.config/unity3d/Udacity/self_driving_car_nanodegree_program/Player.log

It keeps writing an error message like 11/06/2017 20:12:48|Fatal|WebSocket.acceptException|System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: Connection refused followed by a stack trace.

The file made it past 28 GB in minutes.

I am running it under Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit. The issue is systematic.

Steps to reproduce:

clone the project repository
download and install the simulator
run install-ubuntu.sh in the project directory
build the project as per provided instructions
start the simulator, keep the default options, click OK, make sure "Project 1/2: EKF and UKF" is selected and click SELECT
start ExtendedKF
stop ExtendedKF (CTRL+C)
leave the simulator running
after a while, Ubuntu reports that the file system root is about to be full.

Thank you for letting us know. A note has been added to the EKF project instructions and repo, which includes a workaround.
