OS App 1.2.1 crashing when running simulation
I am having a variety of issues trying to run a model file that I copied over from another computer. Initially, the weather file and OS results measure (the only measure added) both disappeared. I added the weather file back, but seem to still be having issues.
I get an immediate error if I run without the measure. I have tried every combination of re-adding and deleting the measure from OS and from the model file's measures folder. This removes the error, however OS keeps crashing. Either as soon as I start the simulation, or at the very end (after the output log prints "Complete"), or sometimes even when I save.
When it doesn't crash, I often get an error that one of the subsurfaces is missing a construction, even though I have repeatedly hard-assigned a construction to it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Possibly related to this, I got the same invalid weather file error: https://unmethours.com/question/33543...
Here are some of the errors I'm getting from run.log (if it makes it to the end and crashes, there are no severe errors in eplusout.err):

Seems to be the same error message as here: https://unmethours.com/question/42037...
You are correct, thanks. However that may be a different issue, as I think I actually received that error on a semi-successful run. The first and third messages seem to be the more problematic ones that arise when it actually crashes.
Yesterday, I uninstalled and reinstalled the OS app and reconnected to the BCL to download a fresh copy of the OS results measure. This seemed to have fixed the crashing at/after simulation, but today I am unable to save the model without it crashing, so still looking for any solutions.
Are you working on a Windows machine? Wondering if related to this issue when the directory for the is open in windows explorer https://github.com/openstudiocoalitio.... If you are on Windows, can you trying using the most recent OpenStudio Application, if you are not already.
@David: Yes, Windows 10. I have made sure not to have the directory open when I do anything. I have uninstalled and reinstalled OS App 1.2.1 (this is the latest version, correct?), and I am getting the same issue on any file I open now, even a brand new .osm with barely any inputs or measures. I'm on a bit of a time crunch, so please let me know if this is better worked through on GitHub or elsewhere
If you have not yet, I would restart the computer, to clean up an orphan processes, also try changing the directory you are saving to, specifically avoid any directories that are a network drive or backed up to cloud service like DropBox. Also avoid any special characters or excessively long paths.
