Siril Scripts not working - cd command leads to wrong directory.

[pbleic]

I have been using Siril manually with success. I wanted to try the pre-processing with drizzle, but something is odd. I am on Ubuntu 18.04, running Siril 0.99.7. My working directory is: /media/NetDoc/UbuntuHD/Astrophotography/photos/foo/bar. In that directory I have the proper folders as directed. The script command cd /biases seems to want to open /biases/media/UbuntuHD/Astrophotography/photos/foo/bar which fails. Somehow it is appending the /biases to the beginning of the WD, rather than to the end…

Here is the log:

09:57:53: Running command: requires
09:57:53: # Convert Bias Frames to .fit files

Please show us some screenshot of your trees and front screen of siril.
Looks like your cwd is not good.

[pbleic]

What do you mean “trees?” My directory structure? This is a second HD mounted in my media directory. It works fine with everything including Siril.

[lock042]

Yes but I want to see how you did organized you files. And what is your cwd in siril.

[pbleic]

OK, this is the “Home” screen where I set the CWD. And here is my computer “tree.” Thanks for helping…

[lock042]

OK, but your cwd is currently set to a wrong place …/Astrophotography/Photos/Dec 26 2020/Lights

[pbleic]

Sorry, I am confused. Where are you getting that from? This isn’t what the pictures I sent show. Is this from some internal log that is communicated to you? Here is the complete log from a session where my CWD is set to …/Astrophotography/Test/SirilTest which contains the requisite 4 folders. What is going wrong?

As you see, I have set my CWD here to the right place:
12:43:05: Setting CWD (Current Working Directory) to ‘/media/pbleic/UbuntuHD/Astrophotography/Test/SirilTest’

but the first step in the program tries to set it to:
12:43:09: Setting CWD (Current Working Directory) to ‘biases/media/pbleic/UbuntuHD/Astrophotography/Test/SirilTest’

It is putting “biases/” in FRONT of my CWD rather than appending /biases to the end of it.

@pbleic

Where are you getting that from?

[pbleic]

Yes, I see now. That is just because I opened it to take the photo. But each time this has failed, I have set it to the correct CWD. Here is the screenshot showing that AND the fail. I am set to the correct CWD. There is something wrong with the script.

[lock042]

OK. I see the issue.

Very strange because I absolutely cannot reproduce it.

[lock042]

@pbleic

There is something wrong with the script.

Not with the script btw. Something strange with your version that try to put the “biases” in front of the path…

Please @pbleic: could you tell me your glib version please.

[pbleic]

Assuming you mean glibc; can check with version of ldd:
$ ldd --version
ldd (Ubuntu GLIBC 2.27-3ubuntu1.4) 2.27

PS - moved the Test directory to my home directory, in case the mounted HD was the issue. Same result.

[lock042]

Yes I was speaking about glib, not glibc. You must have a version prior to 2.58.

I think I found the bug. Please wait for the update of the PPA in some minutes.

[pbleic]

BTW, I have glib (using a grep): 2.56.4-0ubuntu0.18.04.6

[lock042]

My guess was right. So in some minutes you will have an update.

[pbleic]

Thanks for being so responsive. And thanks for making a great program.

[lock042]

And thank you for this awful bug catch ;).

[lock042]

Packages in “Siril” : Siril : lock042 : check the update status.

[pbleic]

Thanks much. It has been published for 38 minutes, but the PPA in my Synaptic Package Manager still shows 0.99.7+8. How long does it take to be upgradable/installable?

[pbleic]

Or, do I need to do it manually?
