Dear WRF-Hydro community,
I am trying to run the genForcing.py script to generate forcings for the Croton test case.
I have prepared my Croton.txt configuration file carefully based on the standard structure.
Here are the key steps I have followed:
-
Installed and activated a fresh Conda environment (wrfhydro_env).
-
Installed esmpy, mpi4py, and other required Python packages.
-
Corrected the configuration file by ensuring that:
-
[Input], [Output], [Retrospective], [Forecast], [Geospatial], [Regridding], [Interpolation], [BiasCorrection], [Downscaling], and [SuppForcing] sections are properly populated.
-
Parameters such as AnAFlag, LookBack, ForecastInputHorizons, and ForecastInputOffsets are explicitly defined.
-
Despite this, I still encounter the following error when executing:
(wrfhydro_env) [fatemehs@login1 WrfHydroForcing]$ python genForcing.py Croton.txt
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/fatemehs/WrfHydroForcing/genForcing.py", line 111, in main
inputForcingMod = forcingInputMod.initDict(job_meta,WrfHydroGeoMeta)
File "/home/fatemehs/WrfHydroForcing/core/forcingInputMod.py", line 598, in initDict
InputDict[force_key].userFcstHorizon = ConfigOptions.fcst_input_horizons[force_tmp]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/fatemehs/WrfHydroForcing/genForcing.py", line 140, in <module>
main()
File "/home/fatemehs/WrfHydroForcing/genForcing.py", line 113, in main
err_handler.err_out_screen_para(job_meta, mpi_meta)
File "/home/fatemehs/WrfHydroForcing/core/err_handler.py", line 37, in err_out_screen_para
err_msg_out = 'ERROR: RANK - ' + str(MpiConfig.rank) + ' : ' + err_msg
TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "ConfigOptions") to str
It seems that ConfigOptions.fcst_input_horizons is still being read as NoneType, although I have defined ForecastInputHorizons = [60] in my configuration file.
Also, there appears to be an additional issue with error handling in err_handler.py when exceptions occur.
Would anyone be able to help with:
-
Why fcst_input_horizons is not recognized?
-
Whether any corrections are needed in the structure of the configuration file?
-
How to fix the second error regarding string concatenation inside err_handler.py?
I would truly appreciate any help or suggestions.
Best regards,
