Issue with C# Automation in 2025 version

SamLichtwark — Fri, 17 May 2024 01:09:43 GMT

Hi @simon_hooper, I am unable to get the Automation to run successfully with the 2025 version, even when using the built-in examples. The following line is always returning "False":

The issue seems to be occurring within this process in SBDHelper.cs, where an exit code of 204 is being returned:

The log and the output file actually indicate that the analyses were performed successfully, but the RunSBD method is still returning False for a reason I am unable to identify, and therefore the main script returns the message "Unable to run SBD" and the WriteAllCSVResults() method does not run.

I have tried multiple analyses and the results are the same. Are you experiencing the same issues and do you have any suggestions for a fix?

Cheers,

Sam

Hi Sam

Thank you for reporting this. I concur that the program now returns 204. Please modify the following line in the file SBDHelper.cs:

Thanks

Thanks Simon. I don't have any visibility of what the different exit codes indicate but I take it from your response that the only exit code that indicates a problem with the SBD analysis is 1?

Yes, correct, this is the solution that will be published on the next release.
