WISDEM pyside2 and shiboken2 error?

[ghylander]

I'm unsure if this bug comes from ROSCO or WISDEM.

I created a new venv to isolate the issue.

If i follow all the installation steps from the docs and run certain tools from the toolbox, I get the following warning:

Using ofTools in ROSCO_toolbox...
WARNING: Be sure to pip install simpy and marmot-agents for offshore BOS runs

If I then run pip install marmot-agents and simpy, I get the following warning:

ERROR: pip's dependency resolver does not currently take into account all the packages that are installed. This behaviour is the source of the following dependency conflicts.
wisdem 3.3.0 requires pyside2, which is not installed

Lastly, if I pip install pyside2 (which also installs shiboken2 as a dependency), it breaks the venv. Any time I try to run any script I get the following output:

python .\example_04.py
PySide2/__init__.py: Unable to import shiboken2 from C:\Users\gus_h\Documents\GitHub\EnerOcean\ROSCO\Examples, C:\Users\gus_h\miniconda3\envs\rosco-env3\python38.zip, C:\Users\gus_h\miniconda3\envs\rosco-env3\DLLs, C:\Users\gus_h\miniconda3\envs\rosco-env3\lib, C:\Users\gus_h\miniconda3\envs\rosco-env3, C:\Users\gus_h\miniconda3\envs\rosco-env3\lib\site-packages, C:\Users\gus_h\miniconda3\envs\rosco-env3\lib\site-packages\rosco-2.4.0-py3.8.egg, C:\Users\gus_h\miniconda3\envs\rosco-env3\lib\site-packages\future-0.18.2-py3.8.egg

As I stated at the start, I don't know if this comes from WISDEM or if it comes from ROSCO. I also don't know what "offshore BOS" means. Do i need those venv-breaking packages if I want to use FOWT platforms with ROSCO_toolbox?

This sounds like something went wrong with your install - I'm going to close this as it should get resolved when #81 is resolved.

[ghylander]

Now that the errors related to the setup.py, .yaml, etc have been addressed, can we continue this thread?
As I said I don't know if this error comes from ROSCO, WISDEM, pyside2, shiboken2, conda forge, etc

after following the setup steps I specified in #81, when I run example_04 i get the following warning (although the script executes and generates the DSICON.IN file):

If I install the packages specified in the warning (simpy and marmot_agents), then I get the errors I detailed above

[nikhar-abbas]

This is an expected warning from WISDEM when running the ROSCO tuning procedures and the additional packages should not be installed when just running ROSCO. If you intend to run WISDEM with offshore BOS (balance of station) runs, you should specifically follow the WISDEM steps. For ROSCO, we primarily do a conda install wisdem so that we can easily get ccmake and a number of other package dependancies without too much trouble.

perfect, thanks
