OGS6 tests failed with error "could not open file `xxxx.pvd'"

Hi all,

I have compiled OGS6.5.5 from source codes on WSL. However, when I try to run benchmark problems in Test/Data folder, it always failed and the information is always the same as follows.


Could anybody help me to solve this problem?
Many thanks in advance.

Best wishes,
Miao

Per default ogs tries to write output files into the current working directory. In your case it looks like the directory is not writable.

You can specify another output directory with -o-option, e.g.:

ogs ./some-project-file.prj -o path/to/writable/directory

Yes, it is all about the write permission. I have fixed this problem using your solution. I also found that it can be solved by adding a “sudo” before OGS. Thank you so much, Lars.
