Buffer malfunctioning

[robfairh]

I am trying to run this file:
https://github.com/robfairh/transition-scenarios/blob/experimental3/input/eg01-eg23/buffer%20after%20transition/eg01-eg23-flatpower-d3ploy-bufferB2000-ma.xml

and I get this message:

error.txt

Status: Cyclus run successful!
Output location: cyclus.sqlite
Simulation ID: 981e436e-091a-48a0-af5d-58988e36b645

If I delete the definition of the buffer it works.

It passes the integration tests for the buffer though...
@gwenchee any ideas?

That's super weird, maybe u should investigate the history of the repo before each change implemented and see whether the buffer works there.

Okay, I think the problem was that I was defining the buffer like this:

    <buffer_type>
    <item>
        <commod>sourceout</commod>
        <type>float</type>
    </item>
    </buffer_type> 

and I should do:

    <buffer_type>
    <item>
        <commod>sourceout</commod>
        <type>abs</type>
    </item>
    </buffer_type>

Is that correct? The user should now input 'rel' or 'abs' instead of 'perc' or 'float' right?

yup that's been updated. Sorry i forgot to update this in the README. Could you help update that @robfairh

[robfairh]

The buffer works properly, the only issue is the readme then.
This issue can be closed when the readme reflects those changes.
