Pysyncrosim giving R error

[Katrina Szetey]

I am working through the quickstart tutorial on the pysyncrosim readthedocs page, and I have reached the point where you run the scenario. My code generated an error and the error reads as though it’s come from the R package. I am using Syncrosim V2.4.44 and using Jupyter Lab as an IDE.

The error is:
RuntimeError: The external program failed.
Program name was: C:\Program Files\R\R-4.3.2\bin\Rscript.exe
Arguments were: “C:\Users\User\SyncroSim\Packages\helloworldTime\model.R”
Exit code was: 1
More information:
Error in library(rsyncrosim) : there is no package called ‘rsyncrosim’
Execution halted

Hi Katrina,

Although you are running SyncroSim from python, the helloworldTime SyncroSim Package is built using an R script and requires the R package rsyncrosim to be installed. I realize that having to install an R package to run the pysyncrosim tutorial is a bit strange. We will update the tutorial in the next week, but in the meantime you can get the scenario to run by first installing the rsyncrosim package in R using: install.packages("rsyncrosim").

Cheers,
Katie

Hi Katie

Thank you, that worked. On a different point, if you’re updating the tutorial soon you might want to change the frame.append() code, as that’s being deprecated. I used pandas to do the same with this code:

import pandas as pd
new_dataframe = pd.DataFrame([myInputDict])
myInputDataframe = pd.concat([myInputDataframe, new_dataframe], ignore_index=True)

Thanks! We will go through and make sure all code is up to date for the next documentation release.
