Product:	ns-3	Reporter:	Tom Henderson <tomh>
Component:	visualizer	Assignee:	Gustavo J. A. M. Carneiro <gjcarneiro>
Status:	RESOLVED INVALID
Severity:	blocker	CC:	ns-bugs, vedran
Priority:	P5
Version:	pre-release

OS:	Linux

Description Tom Henderson 2012-12-09 23:27:01 UTC

Current ns-3-dev does not work with visualizer.  I learned of this while testing a release candidate and testing the visualizer (this feature not covered by our buildslaves).

This testing performed on Ubuntu 11.10 system.  Both tests below run successfully on ns-3.15 release, but fail on ns-3-dev (they actually succeed in running the simulation but fail to launch the visualizer):

C++ visualization:

./waf --run examples/wireless/wifi-simple-adhoc-grid --vis

Python visualization:

./waf --pyrun src/flow-monitor/examples/wifi-olsr-flowmon.py --vis


I don't have any idea when this might have been introduced since ns-3.15.

Sorry, I moved to London and am a bit out of touch from ns-3 lately.  Is this blocking an imminent ns-3 release?  I might take a look tonight (London time).

Thanks Gustavo. Please also take a look at bug 954 if you can.

If help with bisecting is needed for this bug, I  volunteer to do it.

Upon trying to bisect this tonight, I wasn't able to reproduce it, and I was able to successfully run it from C++ and Python up to changeset da7f1cf69d77 (the last one before side effects were introduced on Saturday).  This may have been a problem with my local desktop state (I have rebooted since then).

I'm marking as invalid as a result.
