Artery crashing repeatedly after around 134 s of Simulation Time

Question

I am currently using Artery to simulate Traffic in a custom scenario. Being lazy, I just changed the required sumo-files and launchd.xml and references in the omnetpp.ini files so that I can run Artery using the run_example target. So far so good.
Qtenv starts without problems an I get a dialogue, prompting me to choose the ini configuration (General, veins, inet or inet_rsu). Whenever the SimTime reaches around 140 seconds running the inet_rsu configutration, the program crashes producing the following error Message:

opp_run: /home/wiconlab/Car2x/artery-master/src/artery/application    
/LocalDynamicMap.cc:24: void artery::LocalDynamicMap::updateAwareness(const CaObject&): Assertion `entry.expiry > omnetpp::simTime() && entry.expiry < omnetpp::simTime() + 2.0' failed

The complete terminal output is as follows:

The assertion in line 24 of LocalDynamicMap tries to ensure that only recent CAMs are added. In the lines before, the full CAM generation time stamp is reconstructed from the truncated generationDeltaTime time stamp. Maybe something went wrong there but I can hardly tell without further information. Can you provide details about your modifications? This may help to reproduce this error.

Also, I suggest to run the simulation with the debugger by invoking the debug_example target. Please make sure to set CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE to "Debug" to enable this target. When the assertion fails you have then the chance to look at the variables in detail: What is the exact OMNeT++ simulation time, i.e. "print simTime().dbl()" with gdb? What is the CAM's generationDeltaTime? What is the reconstruced tai value? What is the time base (mTimebase) of LocalDynamicMap's timer (mTimer)?

Addendum 1: CMake variables can be easily modified from the command line using ccmake or with cmake-gui if you prefer a graphical user interface. Example: Go to your Artery build directory (usually simply called "build") and call "ccmake ." from there. In the then opened command line interface move the cursor to the CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE entry, press [Enter] and modify this entry to "Debug". Finish by pressing [c] to run CMake configuration stage and [g] to generate an updated Makefile in your build directory.

I'd love to invoke the debug_example target, however there is none. I don't know how/where to set CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE. Searching on Google didn't help. — M. Hardt, Feb 06 '18 at 08:50
OK. Turns out I wasn't paying attention and tried to start ccmake in the wrong folder... I ran the program in debug mode until it crashed. "print simTime().dbl()" returned "No symbol "SimTime" in current context." I could do a backtrace which i can append to the original question. As to the modifications: I only exchanged the sumo network and config files and the launchd.xml and the lines in the ini that refer to said files. — M. Hardt, Feb 08 '18 at 09:35
Maybe you could share the according sumo network and config files? Than someone maybe can reconstruct the error. Would this be possible? — Ventu, Feb 09 '18 at 09:06
