Reporting bugs

Before reporting any bug, please make sure that you are using the latest version of PySD. You can get the version number by running python -m pysd -v on the command line.

All bugs must be reported in the project’s issue tracker on github.

Note

Not all the features and functions are implemented. If you are in trouble while translating or running a Vensim or Xmile model check the Vensim supported functions or Xmile supported functions and consider that when openning a new issue.

Bugs during translation

  1. Check the line where it happened and try to identify if it is due to a missing function or feature or for any other reason.

  2. See if there is any open issue with the same or a similar bug. If there is, you can add your specific problem there.

  3. If not previously reported, open a new issue. Try to use a descriptive title such us Missing subscripts support for Xmile models, avoid titles like Error while parsing Xmile model. Provide the given error information and, if possible, a small model reproducing the same error.

Bugs during runtime

  1. Check if a similar bug has been reported on the issue tracker. If that is not the case, open a new issue with a descriptive title.

  2. Provide the error information and all the relevant lines you used to execute the model.

  3. If possible, provide a small model reproducing the bug.
