openstudio losing weather file and measures

I have been having problem with openstudio that it just "randomly" (random as I couldn't figure out why and couldn't find any specific thing I do related to this issue) goes straight into error after starting a run. The log file shows the weather file and measures are not there, thus the error. But these are in the model when I first open the file. At some point (when i click run?), they are just gone. It is annoying because then I need to restart the program (it won't let me select the weather file within the same session), select the weather file and add back in all the measures.

I'm not sure if anyone else has the same problem. Is it a computer setting (I use windows 10) or something. I have had this issue with earlier versions of openstudio as well as the more recent v2.8.1.

Edit: Here's the error i got from the log file.

[17:03:16.817547 ERROR] Found error in state 'reporting_measures' with message ["Cannot find SetOutputTableToIPunits::/ruby/2.2.0/gems/openstudio-workflow-1.3.3/lib/openstudio/workflow/util/measure.rb:45:in `block in apply_measures'\n:/ruby/2.2.0/gems/openstudio-workflow-1.3.3/lib/openstudio/workflow/util/measure.rb:32:in `each_index'\n:/ruby/2.2.0/gems/openstudio-workflow-1.3.3/lib/openstudio/workflow/util/measure.rb:32:in `apply_measures'\n:/ruby/2.2.0/gems/openstudio-workflow-1.3.3/lib/openstudio/workflow/jobs/run_reporting_measures.rb:85:in `perform'\n:/ruby/2.2.0/gems/openstudio-workflow-1.3.3/lib/openstudio/workflow/run.rb:269:in `step'\n:/ruby/2.2.0/gems/openstudio-workflow-1.3.3/lib/openstudio/workflow/run.rb:216:in `run'\n:/openstudio_cli.rb:975:in `execute'\n:/openstudio_cli.rb:763:in `execute'\n:/openstudio_cli.rb:1746:in `<main>'\neval:110:in `eval'\neval:110:in `require_embedded_absolute'\neval:95:in `block in require'\neval:89:in `each'\neval:89:in `require'\neval:3:in `<main>'"]}

When this error occurs, the "file", "measures", and "reports" folders disappear. The "run" folder stays.
