BlockMesh - docker-machine misspelled or could not be found.

[jovgrs7-cyber]

Hey Everyone,
i installed blue cfd 2017-1 and afterwards Butterfly. when using it everything seams to work until i used the block mesh or snappy hex mesh

i recived this error (first sentence translatet):

_Runtime error (IOException): The command ‘docker-machine’ is either misspelled or could not be found.

Traceback:
line 100, in getShellinit, "C:\Users\jpete\AppData\Roaming\McNeel\Rhinoceros\8.0\scripts\butterfly\runmanager.py"

line 815, in snappyHexMesh, "C:\Users\jpete\AppData\Roaming\McNeel\Rhinoceros\8.0\scripts\butterfly\case.py"

I have no idea how to solve this and hope you could help me out - thanks in advance!

Same issue here.. it seems blockMesh automatically using runmanager.py and not runmanager_bluecfd.py in this case. Tried to reinstall BLueCFD in C, adjust init.py, check config.yml, update the Buterrfly using Butterfly swoosh component, but no luck...

This is the snippet from runmanager.py

class RunManager(object):
    """RunManager to write and run OpenFOAM commands through batch files.

    Run manager is currently only useful for running OpenFOAM for Windows which
    runs in a docker container. For linux systems simply use .bash files or
    libraries such as pyFOAM.

    """

    shellinit = None
    __containerId = None

def __init__(self, project_name):
        u"""Init run manager for project.

        Project path will be set to: C:/Users/%USERNAME%/butterfly/project_name

        Args:
            project_name: A string for project name.
        """
        assert os.name == 'nt', "Currently RunManager is only supported on Windows."

        self.__project_name = project_name
        self.__separator = '&'
        self.is_using_docker_machine = True \
            if hasattr(Version, 'is_using_docker_machine') and \
            Version.is_using_docker_machine \
            else False

        self.dockerPath = r'"C:\Program Files\Docker Toolbox"' \
            if self.is_using_docker_machine \
            else r'"C:\Program Files\Boot2Docker for Windows"'

        self.log_folder = './log'
        self.errFolder = './log'
        self._pid = None

while the one in runmanager_bluecfd.py is:

class RunManagerBlueCFD(object):
    """RunManager BlueCFD to write and run OpenFOAM commands through batch files."""

    shellinit = None
    __containerId = None

    def __init__(self, project_name):
        u"""Init run manager for project.

        Project path will be set to: C:/Users/%USERNAME%/butterfly/project_name

        Args:
            project_name: A string for project name.
        """
        assert os.name == 'nt', "Currently RunManager is only supported on Windows."
        self._blue_folder = butterfly.config['of_folder']
        self._env = bcfdenv(self._blue_folder)
        self._project_name = project_name
        self._project_folder = os.path.join(
            os.path.expanduser('~'), 'butterfly', self._project_name
        )
        self.log_folder = './log'
        self.errFolder = './log'
        self._process = None

i'm wondering where is this is_using_docker_machine setting comes from?

EDIT:

so it's from butterfly/version.py

class Version(object):
    """Version class."""

    bf_ver = "0.0.5"
    of_ver = "4.0"
    of_full_ver = "v1706+"
    is_using_docker_machine = True  # useful to run OpenFOAM container
    last_updated = datetime(year=2017, month=8, day=24, hour=13, minute=40)

    def duplicate(self):
        """Return a copy of this object."""
        return deepcopy(self)

    def ToString(self):
        """Overwrite .NET ToString method."""
        return self.__repr__()

    def __repr__(self):
        """Version."""
        return 'Version::Butterfly{}::OpenFOAM{}'.format(self.bf_ver, self.OFVer)

so it seems has to do with the OpenFoam version or BlueCFD version we are using. Trying to change from.BlueCFD 2024 to BlueCFD 2017-2 as suggested, but unfortunately still no luck. The error message still there. Is it related to the of_ver, of_full_ver, and is_using_docker_machine in Version class?

How should I do to make butterfly choose runmanager_bluecfd.py instead of runmanager.py?
