Observer unknown for bbob-mixint on a distant machine

[DahitoMA]

I try to use the cocoex.Observer on the bbob-mixint suite on a distant machine using linux. It is saying 'COCO WARNING: Unknown observer!'
I am using python 2.7.16 from Anaconda and to this day the coco version is up-to-date with the master branch. Here is the code:

import cocoex
suite = cocoex.Suite('bbob-mixint', 'instances: 1-5', 'dimensions: 5, 10, 20')
observer = cocoex.Observer('bbob-mixint', 'result_folder')

How about using the (default) 'bbob' observer? Isn't that supposed to work, @ttusar ?

[ttusar]

Yes, there's no 'bbob-mixint' obsever, just the 'bbob' one.

I think the confusion might come from some examples where the suite name is automatically used also as the observer name (I'm saying this on the top of my head - I think I saw it somewhere).

I found the problem. We did not implement the automatic map from the new observer names to the old observers. Fix is on the way.

[ttusar]

What new observers?

[ttusar]

Oh, I see now what you did...

[brockho]

"Observer names": 'bbob-mixint' and 'bbob-biobj-mixint', see 5666592

I never thought we would be giving new names to old observers. I guess it's practical, but it just never occurred to me...
