Dear all,

I have not used seadas for about one year and re-instailled it to process some modis aqua data with l2gen (ocssw V2023.3). However, the getanc did not work. The detail of error was:

Code: Select all

getanc -cv /home/ubuntu/data/NorthA/tmp/A2002243182000.L1B_LAC
ancillary_data.db
Searching database: /home/ubuntu/ocssw/var/log/ancillary_data.db 
Aqua

    c.execute('INSERT INTO ancfiles VALUES (NULL,?,?,?)', [ancfile, ancpath, anctype])
sqlite3.ProgrammingError: Error binding parameter 2: type 'PosixPath' is not supported

I remembered that "getanc" was easy to use before. I have not idea how to fix it, could someone provide some suggestions.

Best regards,
Zhigang

Seems there is a bug with the use of the -c,--curdir option. One I apparently introduced almost 3 years ago

I'm very surprised this is the first report. The good news is the solution is simple.

The first option is a workaround. Don't use -c. Just let the code put the files in the default location.

The second option is to edit this file: $OCSSWROOT/bin/seadasutils/setupenv.py
replace line 55 which looks like this:

Code: Select all

    self.dirs['run'] = Path.cwd()

with this:

Code: Select all

    self.dirs['run'] = str(Path.cwd())

Hi Sean,

Appreciated! I had reverted ocssw to the older version (V2021.1) and it worked. I will be able to try your solution for V2023.3 later.

Best,
Zhigang

I was too quick with that 'fix'. It fixed getanc, but breaks modis_GEO and modis_L1B

My "fix" has been fixed

The correct fix will be in the next OCSSW tag.
