Problems with "run test" in Linux

[tpcorrea]

My system is Ubuntu 18.04.4, python 2.7, VUnit 4.3 and ghdl 0.37.

When I try to run a simulation through TerosHDL menu, I get the error:

Compiling into vunit_lib: ../../../../../.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vunit/vhdl/data_types/src/codec.vhd

Compile failed

Searching for this issue, I found a bug report on vunit repo that was fixed in version 4.4.0 (see VUnit/vunit#631). The problem is that the vunit version 4.4.0 can only be installed for python 3 and TerosHDL is calling "python", that corresponds to python 2.7 in Linux.

Can you try to install TerosHDL manually in the branch 68-error-python3? It should fix the problem. Now you can configure the python in the menu.

For a manual installation:

apm install

Hi, how is the procedure? I tried to clone from the repo, switch to the branch 68-error-python3 and run apm install inside the local repo. KR, Tomas Em sex., 5 de jun. de 2020 às 20:40, Ismael PR <[email protected]> escreveu:

I have to clone it into the .atom/package folder, I just learned it. Well, when I try to run the test I just get in the console:

/bin/sh: 1: undefined: not found

Before cloning and installing, I removed the previous terosHDL package.

@tpcorrea Try to reproduce these steps, should be enough:

git clone -b 68-error-python3 https://github.com/TerosTechnology/terosHDL.git
cd terosHDL/
apm link
apm install

After the installation you have to reboot Atom.
If some errors come up try to undo the changes in the ./atom folder.
Hope it helps.

Hi, Ismael, yes I managed to install the 68-error-python3 branch, but then the run simulation button does not work. I get in the console:

/bin/sh: 1: undefined: not found

When I switch to the master branch, I come back to the original problem with the codec.vhd file (described in the first post of this issue).

KR,
Tomas

[qarlosalberto]

Can you try again? There was a typo error... :/

[tpcorrea]

Carlos and Ismael,

seems to be fine. I still have issues in the compilation (I get the warning: package "axilite_bfm_pkg" is obsoleted by context "uvvm_util_context"), but this issue with the python version is ok.

Cheers,
Tomas

Mm... Try to remove the folder vunit_out or push the clean button. You have compiled the libreries with python2 and python3, it causes conflicts
