Hi!
I need help with coastal vulnerability model.

Hello @filipeaguiarrocha199 ,

Thanks for including your logfile! The error is saying that a certain intermediate file (a spatial index of shore points) that the model uses cannot be created, and so the model is crashing. It is not immediately clear to me why this is, but could you try out these items below and see if any of them resolve the issue?

  1. Could you make sure that your workspace folder is not being backed up to a cloud storage service such as Dropbox or OneDrive? These backup services can often cause issues like this if the workspace is within a folder that these services are backing up. If this is the case, please try excluding your workspace folder from backups or temporarily disable backups and see if that resolves the issue.
  2. I see from your logfile that your workspace (C:\Users\Lipe Aguiar\Documents\Mestrado\Serviços Ecossistemicos\Dados Quintão\Workspace) has some non-ASCII characters in the filename (ç, ã). It is possible that one of InVEST’s dependencies is not as tolerant of non-ASCII characters as it should be. Could you try running the model with C:\Users\Lipe Aguiar\Documents\workspace as your workspace and see if that runs through?

If neither of those work and the model is still erroring, would you please send me your inputs so I can try to reproduce the issue on my end?

Thanks,
James
