EnergyPlus9.3.0 Issue

[rajeevraibhatia]

I'm trying to run the code on my Mac with EPlus 9.3, but getting the below error. Any thoughts on how to resolve this?

Program terminated: EnergyPlus Terminated--Error(s) Detected.

Below is the output of the eplusout.err

You got this exception reported by EnergyPlus:

** Severe ** stoi: no conversion

stoi is used in EnergyPlus patch code:

rl-testbed-for-energyplus/EnergyPlus/RL-patch-for-EnergyPlus-9-3-0.patch

Line 350 in 0854a24

+ int NumActsReceived = std::stoi(line);

)

It's used to transform the number of actions sent by the python part. See

rl-testbed-for-energyplus/gym_energyplus/envs/energyplus_env.py

Lines 211 to 218 in 0854a24

	def send_action(self):
	num_data = len(self.ep_model.action)
	if self.pipe_io.writeline('{0:d}'.format(num_data)):
	return False
	for i in range(num_data):
	self.pipe_io.writeline('{0:f}'.format(self.ep_model.action[i]))
	self.pipe_io.flush()
	return True

(especially the first call to writeline, which send the number of actions).

I suspect something is malformed in your idf file, maybe a missing @ExtCtrlAct or wrong indexes.
