NetLogo
BehaviorSpace does nothing if output file is open in Excel
I click run, I select an existing file that is open in Excel, I answer yes to the dialog if I want to override the file and then nothing happens -- no warnings, no runs.
Windows 7; NetLogo 5.0.3
Thanks for reporting, @ToonTalk.
What I get here is a very different behavior: no overwrite warning, but the experiment runs, and the file does get overwritten. But then again, I am on a different platform:
NetLogo 5.0.3 (October 25, 2012)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 1.6.0_31 (Sun Microsystems Inc.; 1.6.0_31-b04)
operating system: Linux 3.2.0-33-generic (amd64 processor)
@TheBizzle, can you give it a try under Windows?
Yes, I can confirm both reported behaviors. On Linux, I am not asked permission to overwrite the file, and it is overwritten. On Windows, I am asked permission, and, if the file is also open by another application after being asked permission, no run occurs.
Looks like we have two different bugs on our hands, then!
Anyone can check how it behaves on Mac?
I tried this on windows 10, with the newest NetLogo 6.2. At least for me it now reports an error:
