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.
I've restarted multiple times, tried different folders (all on the local drive), eliminated special characters, but all have had no effect. I also tried 1.2.0 instead of 1.2.1, but I get the same results.
My current approach is to export all the geometry in Sketchup, restart the computer, and redo the model from there, so far no crashes. I tried copying some of the non-geometry inputs from one osm to another, but I ran into the original issue of invalid weather file error and weather file disappearing, which leads to all the crashes again.
@nsimhai Can you provide a zipped folder of your model, see if we run into the same issue? Perhaps best to open an issue on https://github.com/openstudiocoalitio... rather than this comment box... feel feel to

when you create the issue.@Julien: thanks, issue submitted
