Outdated "OpenStudio Results"

[kousu]

If I make a new project in OpenStudio it automatically adds "OpenStudio Results" which I unconfidently believe is coming from here ¹

BUT there is a copy on BCL here from rd2/tbd which is 6 years old. If I accidentally replace the default version with the BCL version ....

...then my simulation complains hard...

and there's no way to get the original Measure back. I still get a report but several sections are garbled.

Is there a chance this Measure can be updated to source from the current upstream, or simply be removed from BCL to avoid this footgun? Also, maybe this copy too while we're thinking about it?

Thanks for your time !

Hello! thanks for bringing this to our attention. You are right, looks like RD2/TBD is also generating a copy of openstudio_results with the same UUID as the official NLR (previously NREL) version maintain here: https://github.com/NatLabRockies/openstudio-common-measures-gem.

Here's a search I did on BCL to retrieve all versions: https://bcl.nrel.gov/api/search/?fq=uuid:a25386cd-60e4-46bc-8b11-c755f379d916&all_content_versions=1

It's going to take a little bit of time to detangle this. In the meanwhile, is there a way for you to download a measure from BCL (the correct version) and place it in your "MyMeasures" folder that the app has access to so you can make sure you are using the correct version? you should be able to download it from the bottom of this page: https://bcl.nrel.gov/content/a25386cd-60e4-46bc-8b11-c755f379d916 (the last 2 with versions 2.2.X are the RD2 ones)

I figured out if I made a new project with OpenStudioApp and it put a copy in the measures/ folder for that project. I was able to copy that into my bungled project and get it working again.

Thanks so much. It seemed like a big tangly problem but I'm glad to hear you're on the case @kflemin. You're all doing good work down there at NRL (previously NREL).
