If you are executing the command shown in the directions (-T 0 --validate), you are correct that it will parse through the files in the autotest folder and execute them. It appears it is trying to do that, but as you pointed out, something is failing.
The first portions of the errors appear to be more with Eclipse, GDB, and the source code properly linking together. I'd make sure you're using the most up-to-date copy of Eclipse (including checking the specific version for updates), and try "re-adding" a freshly built repository to your Eclipse space. Also make sure you've configured it in debug mode (usually the -g flag for the compiler options) -- Eclipse may not be able to resolve the symbols otherwise.
When you run the --validate script, it creates a new folder under autotest for each of the test_XXX.glm files. Inside that folder, there are typically various forms of the output streams (e.g., .err, .inf, .out). Those are standard text files and may lend some further insights into your problem. Given the autotests are failing, there's likely some type of path or build issue with your copy of GridLAB-D. Take a look at those (especially the .err file) and post any message back here.
Also, run a gridlabd --version command (or put --version in the Eclipse parameters) and paste the response back -- we'll want to make sure you're using a version compatible with Eclipse.

I have installed the Eclipse Version: Photon Release (4.8.0), Build id: 20180619-1200 and I have checked for updates at help>check for updates to be sure I have the most up-to-date copy. However, I don't know how to add a new built repository to the Eclipse Space. I checked the compiler options and found that the -g flag is included in the compiler settings and the name of the built repository is according to the name of my project.
By checking the autotest folders I have found the following messages in the .err files:

And there are like other 15 errors more but I didn't want to make this message so long. As I´m new using Eclipse, I'm trying to figuring out how to put --version in the eclipse parameters.
However, I ran Gridlab-d and obtained:

I hope you have time to help me with this.

Eclipse is probably trying to use the wrong version to run things, which is why you're encountering problems. This also explains a lot of your errors - many of those are "newer" autotest files that have features not included in 4.0 (but they are in /develop or 4.1).
What you'll probably want to do is make sure you don't have an "installed" version of GridLAB-D on your computer (if it is in your Add/Remove Programs, or if you see a folder under C:\Program Files\GridLAB-D or C:\Program Files (x86)\GridLAB-D). That would probably conflict with any compiled versions, and give you odd results.
I'm hoping that last item is what is causing the main problems.

Hi Frank
Thank you very much for your help
I have followed the instructions of the page you mention.
Also, I was a little confused about the -g option and I figured out the flag needed to be set in the compilation stage of GridLab-D (as stated in the mentioned page).
On the other hand, as you mentioned, I had installed GridLab-D in my computer and was removed before I tried again the validation test.
As per your response, I have included the --version in the Eclipse parameters and this is the output:
Processing C:\Users\DR\Documents\GitHub\gridlab-d/climate/autotest/test_cloud_tmy3.glm...GridLAB-D 4.0.0-17448 (Keeler) 64-bit WINDOWS RELEASE
GridLAB-D 4.0.0-17448 (Keeler) 64-bit WINDOWS RELEASE
As you can see, the version is the 4.0 and the associated errors are due to this.
Could you give me some guidance about how to be sure the GitHub Desktop forks the latest GitLab version?
Again, thank you very much for your time.

Hello again.
I have tried to compile the latest version of GridLab-D from: https://github.com/gridlab-d/gridlab-d/tree/develop and followed the same steps as before.
When ran the validation script the same errors appeared and the version is still showing:
GridLAB-D 4.0.0-17448 (Keeler) 64-bit WINDOWS RELEASE
It seems that the old build of GridLab-D is considered. Do I need to delete the associated directory from PATH, GLPATH and CXXFLAGS? Furthermore, for every new GridLab-D build, Do I need to do this?
Thnk you very much
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Hello Victor,
Apologies for the delay in getting back to you. That definitely looks like the old version is still overriding things. Ideally, you should see something similar to:
GridLAB-D 4.0.0-17773 (d9e8eed1:develop) 64-bit WINDOWS RELEASE
To get it properly using the "built from source code" version, you probably will need to remove the existing folder from those environmental variables. Ideally, if you go under your "Add/Remove Programs" or "Programs and Features" (depending on Windows version), any installed versions of GridLAB-D should be in there -- if you just uninstall that version, it should remove the various environmental variables.
If you wanted to test it as a different approach first, you can just edit/override those variables in a command prompt. This is a bit more technical though, so editing those variables or uninstalling any "previously installed versions" is the best bet.

I will try to delete any trace of old GridLAB-D versions, including the environmental variables, to see if it works properly, and I hope this fix the problems I am facing.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
With version 4.1, we changed the build process slightly. Instead of using the MSYS and Winbuilds environment on Windows, we've migrated to MSYS2. Aro linked to a forum thread and the installation instructions -- if you download a 4.1+ repository, there should be a BuildingGridlabdOnWindowsWithMsys2.docx file, which has the updated instructions. We'll hopefully get the Wiki updated soon (we're a little behind getting all of the 4.1 details updated).

Processing C:\Users\DR\Documents\GitHub\gridlab-d/climate/autotest/test_cloud_tmy3.glm...GridLAB-D 4.0.0-17448 (Keeler) 64-bit WINDOWS RELEASE
GridLAB-D 4.0.0-17448 (Keeler) 64-bit WINDOWS RELEASE
As you can see, the version is the 4.0 and the associated errors are due to this.
Could you give me some guidance about how to be sure the GitHub Desktop forks the latest GitLab version?
Again, thank you very much for your time.
Regards,
Victor
Hello again.
I have tried to compile the latest version of GridLab-D from: https://github.com/gridlab-d/gridlab-d/tree/develop and followed the same steps as before.
When ran the validation script the same errors appeared and the version is still showing:
GridLAB-D 4.0.0-17448 (Keeler) 64-bit WINDOWS RELEASE
It seems that the old build of GridLab-D is considered. Do I need to delete the associated directory from PATH, GLPATH and CXXFLAGS? Furthermore, for every new GridLab-D build, Do I need to do this?
Thnk you very much
Hello Victor,
Apologies for the delay in getting back to you. That definitely looks like the old version is still overriding things. Ideally, you should see something similar to:
To get it properly using the "built from source code" version, you probably will need to remove the existing folder from those environmental variables. Ideally, if you go under your "Add/Remove Programs" or "Programs and Features" (depending on Windows version), any installed versions of GridLAB-D should be in there -- if you just uninstall that version, it should remove the various environmental variables.
If you wanted to test it as a different approach first, you can just edit/override those variables in a command prompt. This is a bit more technical though, so editing those variables or uninstalling any "previously installed versions" is the best bet.

Hello Frank.
Thank you very much for your help.
I will try to delete any trace of old GridLAB-D versions, including the environmental variables, to see if it works properly, and I hope this fix the problems I am facing.

Victor
I am also having difficulties building the latest develop branch in a clean workspace. I do my third_party builds which seem to be fine. But when I run the config command for gridlab-d (cut and pasted from this page: http://gridlab-d.shoutwiki.com/wiki/MinGW/Eclipse_Installation#GridLAB-D (64 bit build) it reports that libxerces-c cannot be found.
configure: WARNING: missing libxerces-c; build will fail until dependency is met
gridlabd 4.1.0: Automatic configuration failed.

Earlier in the output I see:

Ignoring these errors and going ahead with the make command in the repo space I get this error...

All this process used to work... but now it doesn't. I've been trying to go back to a clean build to see if I could recover but so far no luck...
Hello Brian

Hello Brian,
With version 4.1, we changed the build process slightly. Instead of using the MSYS and Winbuilds environment on Windows, we've migrated to MSYS2. Aro linked to a forum thread and the installation instructions -- if you download a 4.1+ repository, there should be a BuildingGridlabdOnWindowsWithMsys2.docx file, which has the updated instructions. We'll hopefully get the Wiki updated soon (we're a little behind getting all of the 4.1 details updated).

Oh wow! That's big. Thanks for the pointer, I'll give it a try.
