`GetConnections` should throw an exception if it is called before presynaptic infrastructure is created, but sorting connections is enabled
Closed this issue · 3 comments
By sorting, connection handles would be invalidated. We need to add an additional SLI function that allows the user to construct the presynaptic infrastructure without running Simulate. This would allow the user to run scripts like this:
... Connect
InstatiatePresynapticConnectionInfrastructure
<< >> GetConnections
100 Simulate@suku248 have you already worked on this? I remember discussing this before, but don't remember the outcome. If not, could you look into this please?
PR #84 addresses this issue.
@heplesser, @stinebuu, @hakonsbm, and I have discussed possible solutions. We decided that updating the connection infrastructure at the beginning of GetConnections is the best way to handle this issue.
If GetConnections is called before the call to Simulate, the connection infrastructure won't be updated again at the beginning of Simulate unless connections have been added or removed.
