Hello.

I would like to ask if it is possible to add Thorney BEAST in an xml file with markovJumpsTreeLikelihood?

When I try to run it, I have this error below even though I already have a code block that declares the Filcentric.treeLikelihood id.


SEVERE: Parsing error - poorly formed BEAST file, markovjumps_edited2.xml:
Object with idref=Filcentric.treeLikelihood has not been previously declared.

Hello,

It is difficult to know exactly without seeing the xml, but the error above is a standard xml error. Somewhere in the xml there is an object that looks something like <SomeTreeLikelihood idref="Filcentric.treeLikelihood"/>. Such xml code expects there to be some entry with a tag id="Filcentric.treeLikelihood" defined before (above) its use in <SomeTreeLikelihood idref="Filcentric.treeLikelihood"/>.  The error is saying that it can not find an xml entry with the tag id="Filcentric.treeLikelihood". It might not be defined, or it might have a typo in the id. (which happens to me more often than I'd like to admit).

I hope this helps,
JT

Thank you again, JT.
You've been a great help.
Indeed, it was a typo, a simple difference in the case of a letter in the ID.
