Circuitscape 5 is not writing cumulative branch and node current files for network mode

[venkanna37]

Circuitscape 5 is not writing cumulative currents files when I run with the network data type. While the same settings (.ini and habitat files) are working fine with Circuitscape 4 and are giving the desired cumulative branch and node currents files.

I am running Circuitscape 5 (v5.8.1) in Julia v1.6.1 with the following .ini and network data:
Circuitscape_graph2.txt
Circuitscape_network_ini.txt

Hi @venkanna37, apologies for such a late response to this issue. I think this must be because you are providing the same file as both your point file and your habitat map. For network and raster data in pariwise mode, you need to supply a separate file that specifies the points (nodes) that you want to connect.

From the docs:

For pairwise analysis we would also supply a list of focal nodes (containing at least two node numbers, but as many as...the number of nodes in the circuit) between which we want to perform calculations.

Hello @vlandau , thank you for the reply and apologies the for late response. After modifying the point file, the branch and node current files are improved, the resistance column are not being considered as nodes (before modification, resistances were considered as nodes in output). Still, Circuitescape5 is not writing cumulative node and branch currents files. I am attaching my .ini, point and resistance files, can you please check when you find the time and let me know if I have to make any modification in them.

Thank you.

Unfortunately for network mode I think the cumulative branch currents are currently not able to be written, see #119. cc @ranjanan

Thank you for confirmation @vlandau. It will be very useful if Circuitescape-5 can write cumulative branch and node current files.

Hi @ViralBShah, @ranjanan , and @vlandau ,

Thank you for the creation of circuitscape.jl and ominiscape.jl .

Posting here rather than email on the slight chance there is someone out there that is already working on this fix, and they can notify here with an update or a PR.

I've been briefed by @venkanna37 and my understanding is that this Issue the last bit of functionality that needs to be introduced to circuitscape.jl to complete the project of replicating all the necessary functionality of circuitscape.py. A bonus of this occurring is that we will be able to introduce the Linkage Mapper community to circuitscape.jl as the means for performing Pinchpoint Mapper and Centrality Mapper, rather than using circuitscape.py.

Given this context, please let us know what your plans are for this Issue.

Thank you,

John

@ranjanan I presume this is straightforward to do at some point. Do you know when you might find the time?

[ranjanan]

This should be straightforward. I will find time within this week or the next.

[johngallo]

Wonderful. Thanks Ranjan and good luck!

@venkanna37 and @johngallo this should now work with version 5.9.0

[venkanna37]

Thank you so much @ranjanan I will try it
