cadCAD Version: 0.4.28 doesn't work

[VHPL-UIS]

Hi,
I'm using the cadCAD for a while, and I have some simulation with it on my old machine. Today, I installed it on another machine which I think the installed version is now the latest version. but it doesn't work! At first, I thought maybe it's because of different versions of python, so I made sure both machines are using the same version(3.8.10), but it didn't solve the problem. Then I checked with the tutorial code, the first one, and I got this error:

@VHPL-UIS to confirm, you were running the following tutorial?https://github.com/cadCAD-org/demos/tree/master/tutorials/robots_and_marbles/robot-marbles-part-1

[BenSchZA]

@VHPL-UIS were you using Jupyter Notebook? I find it works in Lab but not Notebook, and for that reason think perhaps it's an issue with multiprocessing - that was one of the more recent refactors made to cadCAD. @JEJodesty any ideas?

[VHPL-UIS]

@BenSchZA No, I just copied the code from the notebook into a .py file and tried to run it.
I have the 0.4.23 and it works fine.

Having the same issue in jupyter lab.

yup having trouble running https://github.com/cadCAD-org/demos/tree/master/tutorials/robots_and_marbles/robot-marbles-part-1 with 0.4.28

[susmit]

It works fine with 0.4.23

It looks like this is due to config changes in v.0.4.28. You have to use the configs attribute from Experiment instead of from cadCAD.configs. See here.

Having same issue, with same tutorial. With help from @BenSchZA (thanks 🙏 ) I had to make some changes to the code block in the link above:

from cadCAD.configuration.utils import config_sim
from cadCAD.configuration import Experiment
c = config_sim(sim_config_dict)
exp = Experiment()
exp.append_model(
    model_id = 'sys_model_1', # System Model - OPTIONAL
    initial_state = genesis_states, # System Model
    partial_state_update_blocks = partial_state_update_blocks, # System Model
#    policy_ops = ..., # System Model
    sim_configs = c, # Simulation Properties
)
configs = exp.configs

^ thats for block #6 of this tutorial https://github.com/cadCAD-org/demos/blob/master/tutorials/robots_and_marbles/robot-marbles-part-1/robot-marbles-part-1.ipynb

Thanks for the update and sorry for the delay

@VHPL-UIS @susmit @daithi-coombes
despite the title of the issue, it entails updating not only robot-and-marbles-part-1 to run on 0.4.28, but also all cadCAD demos

@VHPL-UIS @susmit
I suggest:

• updating your system model using the CHANGELOG which contain links to documentation
• update using the -cadcad-post-processing-modifications in addition to as suggested by @meiji163
• submitting an issue to update all cadCAD demos to run on 0.4.28 which includes robot-and-marbles-part-1

@LinuxIsCool @BenSchZA
I suggest:

• if there is still an issue with jubyter lab or notebook after the steps above are complete, submit a jubyter lab and/or notebook specific issue(s) for within this repo
