Basilisk Known Issues

Version 1.5.1

  • WINDOWS ONLY: Windows users cannot currently run pytest directly on Basilisk src/ directory (there will be non-resolved python path issues that will result in erroneous ImportErrors). Instead, to verify proper installation of Basilisk, windows users must enter the specific subdirectory they are attempting to test, only then to run pytest. This should result in appropriate behavior. Right now there is no known solution to this issue.

Version 1.5.0

  • WINDOWS ONLY: Windows users cannot currently run pytest directly on Basilisk src/ directory (there will be non-resolved python path issues that will result in erroneous ImportErrors). Instead, to verify proper installation of Basilisk, windows users must enter the specific subdirectory they are attempting to test, only then to run pytest. This should result in appropriate behavior. Right now there is no known solution to this issue.

  • Here the reaction wheel dynamics have been modified such that the RW state output message is no longer hard-coded to rw_config_0_data, etc. Rather, now the ModelTag string is pre-pended to make this output msg name unique with. Any scripts that is logging this RW state message will have to be updated. The reason for this change is to allow multiple spacecraft to have RW devices and unique RW state messages.

  • There was an issue doing a clean compile using Python 2 which is addressed in the next version

  • test_reactionWheelStateEffector_integrated didn’t run on Python 2, this is fixed in the next version.

  • The numpy python package can’t be the current version 1.16.x as this causes some incompatibilities and massive amounts of depreciated warnings. These warnings are not related to BSK python code, but other support code. Thus, for now be sure to install version 1.15.14 of numpy.

  • The latest version of pytest (version 3.7.1) has a conflict with the RadiationPressure module unit test. We are still investigating. In the meantime, using pytest version 3.6.1 is working correctly.
