Johann, could you please upload the files test/test_COM.log and test/reports/GCOM.xml so that I can check what’s going on? It seems that Stefan Klepser has encountered the same problem. I’m wondering why I don’t see this on my machine ...

here they are.

For the record, I grabbed the gammalib-00-08-00 release tarball and build it on my Mac OS X 10.6.8. All tests passed. Here the configuration file: config.log

#6 Updated by Cohen-Tanugi Johann over 10 years ago

ok here is mine. The first thing is that we do not use the same gcc version, and I am on 64bits while you are on 32bits. Beyond that, I see that there are compilation failures in the logs, for both of us.....

Okay, problem is as I expected in Test XML constructor:

<testcase assertions="" classname="COMPTEL instrument specific class testing" name="Test binned observation: Test XML constructor" status="" time="0">
24    
    <error message='*** ERROR in GFits::open(std::string&): Unable to open FITS file "/home/cohen/sources/CTA/CTOOLS/ctools-00-07-00/share/caldb/u47569_iaq.fits" (status=104)' type="N10GException15fits_open_errorE" />
25    
</testcase>

It tries to open the file /home/cohen/sources/CTA/CTOOLS/ctools-00-07-00/share/caldb/u47569_iaq.fits. In the XML file, the filename is u47569_iaq.fits. The code apparently adds the path /home/cohen/sources/CTA/CTOOLS/ctools-00-07-00/share/caldb which is, I guess, the GAMMALIB_CALDB environment variable. Here the relevant code
void GCOMResponse::load(const std::string& iaqname)
{
    // Save calibration database name
    std::string caldb = m_caldb;

    // Clear instance
    clear();

    // Restore calibration database name
    m_caldb = caldb;

    // Save IAQ name
    m_iaqname = iaqname;

    // Build filename
    std::string filename = m_caldb + "/" + m_iaqname;

    // Open FITS file
    GFits file(filename);

    // Get IAQ image
    const GFitsImage& iaq = *file.image(0);

    // Read IAQ
    read(iaq);

    // Close ARF FITS file
    file.close();

    // Return
    return;
}

m_caldb is set by the std::string GCaldb::rootdir() method and is either the environment variable GAMMALIB_CALDB or CALDB (whichever exists in the given order). The GAMMALIB_CALDB is set by the GammaLib configuration script. CALDB is set by the ctools configuration script. Maybe this is the problem?

I checked GCaldb::rootdir() again and noticed that in contrary to expectations, CALDB takes precedence over GAMMALIB_CALDB. I still need to dive more in the code to understand the problem. For now I try to reproduce this by setting the CALDB environment variable.

#9 Updated by Knödlseder Jürgen over 10 years ago

Got it. Setting the CALDB environment variable gave

*********************************************

*********************************************

Test response: ... ok

Test event bin: ............ ok
Test event cube: .................... ok

  • Target version set to 00-08-01
  • % Done changed from 10 to 20

And understood. The COMPTEL unit test sets internally the GAMMALIB_CALDB environment variable before jumping into the code:

    // Set GAMMALIB_CALDB environment variable
    std::string caldb = "GAMMALIB_CALDB="+com_caldb;
    putenv((char*)caldb.c_str());

This should work if GAMMALIB_CALDB takes precedence over CALDB. As the code is in fact not doing this, CALDB is used if it’s set, directing to a directory that does not contain the response files.

So the immediate correction is to correct the GCaldb::rootdir() method.

Follow-up actions should be taken to clean up the CALDB interface. Actually, the expected structure

$CALDB/data/<mission>
$CALDB/data/<mission>/<instrument>
$GAMMALIB_CALDB/data/<mission>
$GAMMALIB_CALDB/data/<mission>/<instrument>
is not really used (the data directory is actually missing), and the GCOMResponse response class does not use the appropriate GCaldb::path() method to access the data.

The latter is followed up by change request #1102.
