Possible Bug in 5.10.0?

[achimste]

Hi!

Since EDMC 5.10.0 I encounter a serious misbehaviour of EDMC together with TCE.

Description:
TCE is not able to read the market data when I dock on a station. TCE calls "EDMC.exe" to extract the market data and writes the data in the folder /EDMC_Data. SO far so good. But TCE cannot read the data / is not able to incorporate the data into its databases.
I reinstalled EDMC 5.9 from a backup and that worked with TCE so latter one is not to blame. I found that EDMC.ex in 5.10.0 is missing the resource folder with two json files. These files are NOT installed with the 5.10.0 installer! I had to manually copy these from the EDMC release zip file.
Anyway, even with this "fix", TCE is still not working with 5.10, only with earlier version.

I already contacted Eventure of TCE. If anyone here has an idea, I'd be happy.

Greetings

ships.json and modules.json are only used by the outfitting functions, specifically the Coriolis and EDSY core plugins. The now deprecated ships.p and modules.p are also still included for backwards compatibility. That those two files don't show up in the resources folder is expected, they get added to the root path of the install location and a quick install test shows that both the new .json and the old .p files are present.

Unfortunately I'm unable to find any source code or proper code documentation for the Trade Computer Extension so I can't look into how exactly it's trying to get EDMC to generate the data, though I'm assuming it's using the -m flag to have EDMC.py generate a .csv file. If that's the case then EDMC should still generate log entries that might be able to give more details about what's happening or goign wrong. Could you look at the normal and debug logs to either see if they note any errors or upload them for review?

(Additionally it would be preferred if you open an issue instead of a discussion.)

That export function does rely on the companion.fixup() function which uses FDevIDs/rare_commodity.csv and FDevIDs/commodity.csv. If those two files were missing the generated output file would be different but they are also both included with a fresh EDMC 5.10.0 install.

Created an issue to track. More information requested in #2124

I answered under issues with log files. I hope this helps.
