Error when running runUnitTest.py

[yuizi]

When I run runNnitTest.py on Windows 10 Pro (64bit), Python 3.8.8 (64bit), I get the following error message
It seems that PyFMI is causing the error, is there any workaround?

You have this message :
ERROR from script file {utilManageCompileLink.py}
Unable to delete directory {C:\LBL\EnergyPlusToFMU-v3.1.0\bin\v_2\bld-idf-to-fmu-export-prep-win-exe}

My guess is that it refers to the issue posted before on some delay needed to release the folder to be deleted....By simply adding a time delay following the post i guess it will work

@yuizi Are you still experiencing the same issue?

Hello, I am also experiencing this issue with the error message:

Hi everyone,

I encountered the same issue while running it through Jupyter Notebook on Windows. I found passing '-L' argument as a temporary fix to our problem, as this prevents EnergyPlusToFMU.py from cleaning up the intermediate files which is exactly when we are seeing the error.

!D:/EnergyplusFMU/EnergyPlusToFMU-v3.1.0/Scripts/EnergyPlusToFMU.py -i C:/EnergyPlusV9-2-0/Energy+.idd -w C:/EnergyPlusV9-2-0/WeatherData/USA_NC_Raleigh-Durham.723060_TMY2.epw -a 1 -d -L D:/EnergyplusFMU/EnergyPlusToFMU-v3.1.0/Examples/Schedule/_fmu-export-schedule.idf

Hope this helps! Thanks
