NetAnim Assert failed

[EdgeOfSanity]

hi,

I'm using ns-3.14.1 My model consists of 300 nodes in dumbbell topology (created with dumbbel helper) and each dumbbell node is attached to 10 CSMA or WIFI nodes (incase wifi the dumbbell node acts as an AP). For the dumbbell I set a bounding using DumbbellHelper::BoundingBox, for the csma/wifi nodes I manually set their location using AnimationHelper::SetPosition . Before starting the simulation, I make the following two calls:
  AnimationInterface anim ("p2p.xml");
  anim.EnablePacketMetadata (true);

However, when I run I get the error:
assert failed. cond="uid != 0", msg="Assert in TypeId::LookupByName: ns3::WimaxNetDevice not found", file=../src/core/model/type-id.cc, line=388

My model has no relation with wimax, yet it is somehow included? Any help in correcting is appreciated.

Well the "netanim" module carries the  Wimax module automatically.

Can you post the wscript file where you placed the filename of your code your running?

Did you mean you used AnimationInterface::SetConstantPosition?

I am having the same assertion fail:

assert failed. cond="uid != 0", msg="Assert in TypeId::LookupByName: ns3::WimaxNetDevice not found", file=../src/core/model/type-id.cc, line=388

The problem is not limited to my own code. Even following the netanim tutorial and running the examples in netanim/examples results in the same assertion fail. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

1. so which version of ns-3 is this?

2. also what does gdb give?

./waf --run "dumbbell-animation" --command-template="gdb --args %s

(gdb) run

(gdb) bt

[John Abraham]

looks similar to the problem in the thread below

https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/ns-3-users/8A_PZINNo-I

The solution in that case seemed to be something adding the below in your example file.

#include "ns3/wimax-module.h"
to the includes and
  {WimaxNetDevice w;}

But we haven't seen this problem for a few releases now, until today.

Thanks John for your reply.

I am using ns-3.15 on cygwin. Running the debugger I get:

Adding the wimax-module.h to the includes doesn't fix the problem. When adding {WimaxNetDevic w;} I get the following:

../scratch/second.v2.cc: In function ‘int main(int, char**)’:

Thanks again for your help. 

[John Abraham]

can you try

1. #include "ns3/wimax-module.h"

using namespace ns3;

BaseStationNetDevice b;

SubscriberStationNetDevice s;

int main (int argc, char *argv[])

2. Or you could comment out the lines

  Config::Connect ("/NodeList/*/DeviceList/*/$ns3::WimaxNetDevice/Tx",

                   MakeCallback (&AnimationInterface::WimaxTxTrace, this));

  Config::Connect ("/NodeList/*/DeviceList/*/$ns3::WimaxNetDevice/Rx",

                   MakeCallback (&AnimationInterface::WimaxRxTrace, this));

in src/netanim/model/animation-interface.cc

Ok. Trying your first suggestion gives me a:

assert failed. cond="uid != 0", msg="Assert in TypeId::LookupByName: ns3::CsmaNetDevice not found", file=../src/core/model/type-id.cc, line=388

[Hassan Sinky]

Thanks John for your help.

It appears your first suggestion worked however I would be getting different errors depending on the netdevice. So to fix this:

#include "ns3/wimax-module.h"

#include "ns3/csma-module.h"

#include "ns3/uan-module.h"

using namespace ns3;

BaseStationNetDevice b;

SubscriberStationNetDevice s;

CsmaNetDevice c;

UanNetDevice u;

int main

[John Abraham]

looks like the wimax issue got solved and now the Csma netdevices are being searched.

The environment apparently has problems with NS_OBJECT_ENSURE_REGISTERED. Which means you might occasionally have problems in other components too even if you don't use NetAnim.

From my perspective you may not get too far with this situation. I can only recommend using ubuntu if using NetAnim.

Another issue coming up. Compiling NetAnim I get:

$ hg clone http://code.nsnam.org/netanim

$ cd netanim

$ qmake-qt4 NetAnim.pro

$ make

g++ -c -pipe -O2 -Wall -W -D_REENTRANT -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_SVG_LIB -DQT_GUI_LIB -DQT_CORE_LIB -I/usr/share/qt4/mkspecs/cygwin-g++ -I. -I/usr/include/qt4/QtCore -I/usr/include/qt4/QtGui -I/usr/include/qt4/QtSvg -I/usr/include/qt4 -I. -o mobilitymanager.o animator/mobilitymanager.cpp

In file included from animator/mobilitymanager.cpp:20:0:

animator/mobilitymanager.h:29:24: fatal error: QTableWidget: No such file or directory

compilation terminated.

Makefile:286: recipe for target `mobilitymanager.o' failed

make: *** [mobilitymanager.o] Error 1

Suggestions?

[John Abraham]

well, I don't know about the cygwin environment, but NetAnim can be built under native windows (using minGW or Visual studio 2010. I think there is a a free version of visual studio 2010 express).

However you need to use QtCreator to open "NetAnim.pro" and click build.

 

QtCreator and Qt libraries for windows (non-cygwin) can be found under

http://qt-project.org/downloads

Hi,

I tried but it is not possible.

I used Qtcreatot and compiler MGWIN and Qt version 4.8.5

The problem I got was

D:\Cygwin\home\costa\tarballs\NetAnim.tar\NetAnim\NetAnim\NetAnim.cc:7: 

error: sys/socket.h: No such file or directory

BR,

Costa

[John Abraham]

sounds like you are using an old version,

please clone NetAnim again

hg clone http://code.nsnam.org/netanim

Hi,

I did the clone and the problem is equal

D:\Cygwin\home\costa\tarballs\NetAnim.tar\NetAnim\NetAnim\NetAnim.cc:7: error: sys/socket.h: No such file or directory

hi Costa,

there is no such file in NetAnim.
http://code.nsnam.org/netanim/file/3ff51fed9b57/main

You are using a very old version

Hi Abraham,

After making the correct clone run the NetAnim.

Thanks for your help.
