Hi @SHITIANYU-hue, How did you install Sinergym? With pip install sinergym? With our container? We have created a bug template to be able to help users more efficiently. Please, do not skip these templates and use them for better communication. Please, fill the next information:

System Info

Describe the characteristic of your environment:

• Describe how Sinergym was installed: (pip, docker, source, ...)
• Sinergym Version: e.g. 2.3.0
• OS: e.g. Ubuntu 22.04 LTS or Dockerfile
• Python version: e.g. 3.10 or Dockerfile
• Gymnasium version:

I suspect the problem is that you installed Sinergym using the PyPi repo. Therefore, your local changes do not affect your Sinergym package. And you should use pip install -e .[extras] in the root path of your cloned repository (if you are using our container, you shouldn't have this problem).

I used the docker's default installation, i used my vs code connects to the docker image( https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/devcontainers/containers). Also, I tried to reinstall Sinergym again in my docker, thanks for your reply, I will try to see if there is any step that I missed.

@SHITIANYU-hue see this.

Hello, thanks!

I tried to run it in my docker container and it works. However, when i import my environment, i.e., env=gym.make('Eplus-taicang'), it has this error, may i know if there is anything wrong with my taicang.idf file?

@SHITIANYU-hue There must be some problem with the IDF structure you are trying to use. EPM is the opyplus library object with which we store the building design internally in Python. Have you made sure that the IDF version is the same as the Energyplus version you are using (v9.5.0)?
