Are you using master?
If you are using next the next commit after the merge phase should fix this problem.
We had this a while ago.

Best,

Hello,

we have a simulation composition (AriaSim) using some simulated devices.

If we start this and an additional composition connected to simulated devices we get sometimes (not reproducible) this error message:

{{{
Syskit[FATAL]: /home/christian/rock_virgo_next/tools/syskit/lib/syskit/network_generation/engine.rb:526:in `block (2 levels) in validate_generated_network': device locomotion is assigned to both Simulation::MarsActuator{1}:0x69a7f58{driver_dev => device(Dev::Simulation::Mars::Actuator, :as => locomotion), conf => [locomotion], locomotion_actuators_mappings => [1, 2, 3, 4]}[] and Simulation::MarsActuator{1}:0x73ca0a8{driver_dev => device(Dev::Simulation::Mars::Actuator, :as => locomotion), conf => [locomotion], locomotion_actuators_mappings => [1, 2, 3, 4]}[], but the tasks have mismatching inputs (Syskit::SpecError)
}}}

Where locomotion is a simulated devices defined by:
{{{
define_simulated_device("locomotion", Dev::Simulation::Mars::Actuator) do |dev| ::Simulation::MarsActuator.dispatch('locomotion_actuators', (1..4).to_a ).
        use_deployments(/mars_locomotion/).
        with_arguments(dev.arguments).
        with_conf('locomotion')
end
locomotion_dev.period 0.01
}}}

and used in:
{{{
  define 'aria', Virgo::AriaSim.use(
    'actuators' => locomotion_def,
    [...]
  )
}}}

In the network graph (see attached *.dot file) one can see that the simulation composition (Virgo::AriaSim) is started twice, and therefore also the Simulation::MarsActuator::Cmp.
I guess that is not correct.

It might be, that this problem does not occur when a second composition is started accessing a simulated device, but then it happens later when a third, ... composition is started.

=> Any ideas why this happens and only happens randomly?


Our guess was to prevent the creation of multiple AriaSim instances by setting it as a driver by:
{{{
class AriaSim < Syskit::Composition
    [...]
    driver_for Dev::Platforms::MobileRoboticsSim, :as=>'ariasimdev'
end
}}}

Which results in the error:
{{{
Syskit[FATAL]: cannot find a device to tie to 1 task(s)
Syskit[FATAL]: for Virgo::AriaSim:0x64e5380{}[]
Syskit[FATAL]:   no candidates for Virgo::AriaSim:ariasimdev
Syskit[FATAL]: Engine#resolve failed
}}}

=> So the second question is if a composition could be set as a driver and if so, how?

Regards,
Christian
