Problem getting submodules

[hamedgibago]

Hello, I want to run your source code, but when in part I want to submodule your repository from GitLab with this code:

cd tool && git submodule update --init --recursive && npm install

I get this error for cloning submodules from your repositories:

Cloning into '/home/hamed/Delphi-BFT/themis-gosig'... fatal: unable to access 'https://gitlab.sec.uni-passau.de/cb/themis.git/': server certificate verification failed. CAfile: none CRLfile: none fatal: clone of 'https://gitlab.sec.uni-passau.de/cb/themis.git' into submodule path '/home/hamed/Delphi-BFT/themis-gosig' failed Failed to clone 'themis-gosig'. Retry scheduled Cloning into '/home/hamed/Delphi-BFT/themis-mir'... fatal: unable to access 'https://gitlab.sec.uni-passau.de/cb/themis.git/': server certificate verification failed. CAfile: none CRLfile: none fatal: clone of 'https://gitlab.sec.uni-passau.de/cb/themis.git' into submodule path '/home/hamed/Delphi-BFT/themis-mir' failed Failed to clone 'themis-mir'.

Is it possible to download some of them that are in github instead those which are in gitlab? For example change the submodule file and remove them in gitlab?
I have a doubt that this one is required or not?

Should be solved through commit:

Thank you but after pulling new request getting new error. I don't know why it is looking for themis-gosig although url and folder is deteled?

fatal: No url found for submodule path 'themis-gosig' in .gitmodules

[bergerch]

Can you try again?

[hamedgibago]

Thank you. It worked but when I want to pull request and cd into libhotstuff directory, it is empty. So after executing this command:

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBUILD_SHARED=ON -DHOTSTUFF_PROTO_LOG=ON

I received this error:

CMake Warning:
No source or binary directory provided. Both will be assumed to be the
same as the current working directory, but note that this warning will
become a fatal error in future CMake releases.

CMake Error: The source directory "/home/hamed/Delphi-BFT/libhotstuff" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt. Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.

I called git pull --force and directory was pulled.
Thank you.
If any problem I will ask again.

Another problem is in spite of git clean -f and git reset --hard HEAD and git pull --forceand running build command, mentioned in previous comment, folder libhotstuff/salticidae is empty. The error is:

  The source directory

    /home/hamed/Delphi-BFT/libhotstuff/salticidae

  does not contain a CMakeLists.txt file.

I found my problem. I just called this code: cd tool && git submodule update --init --recursive && npm install with --force parameter.

Thanks for testing. If there are more problems with pulling the dependencies, feel free to update this issue

[hamedgibago]

Thank you. Sure 🙏

I finnaly managed to run experiments, but during running simulation several errors happened in C++ codes such as:

Hi,

Can you provide the experimental discription file that you used?

There seems to be a problem within libhotstuff, and its use of salticidae. Maybe can you also post information on your operating system and the versions of installed dependencies such as CMake, C++, libuv and openssl for a comparison.

Aditionally, maybe @bentoumia knows more on this.

My Os is Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.

Hi,

this is not the experimental description file but your environment file (the .env).

The experimental description file is the input that you provide when starting simulations from the CLI and is specified as YAML file.

Hi, I didn't understand. You mean that I passed a file (description or env) wrong?

[bergerch]

Which command did you use to start the simulation?
