An empty application/experiment created by following the QNE instructions does not work

[wkozlowski-tudelft]

I have followed the instructions from the QNE website to create an application and then create an experiment. The commands I ran were:

qne application create qkd alice bob
qne experiment create e91 qkd randstad

I did NOT modify any configuration nor any source code. Once I did all that running qne experiment run from my experiment directory fails to complete and prints the following error:

{'exception': 'TimeoutExpired', 'message': 'Call to simulator timed out after 60 seconds.', 'trace': 'Traceback (most recent call last):\n  File "/home/wkozlowski/.virtualenvs/qne/bin/netqasm", line 8, in <module>\n    sys.exit(cli())\n  File "/home/wkozlowski/.virtualenvs/qne/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/click/core.py", line 829, in __call__\n    return self.main(*args, **kwargs)\n  File "/home/wkozlowski/.virtualenvs/qne/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/click/core.py", line 782, in main\n    rv = self.invoke(ctx)\n  File "/home/wkozlowski/.virtualenvs/qne/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/click/core.py", line 1259, in invoke\n    return _process_result(sub_ctx.command.invoke(sub_ctx))\n  File "/home/wkozlowski/.virtualenvs/qne/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/click/core.py", line 1066, in invoke\n    return ctx.invoke(self.callback, **ctx.params)\n  File "/home/wkozlowski/.virtualenvs/qne/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/click/core.py", line 610, in invoke\n    return callback(*args, **kwargs)\n  File "/home/wkozlowski/.virtualenvs/qne/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/netqasm/runtime/cli.py", line 346, in simulate\n    simulate_application(\n  File "/home/wkozlowski/.virtualenvs/qne/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/squidasm/run/multithread/simulate.py", line 89, in simulate_application\n    result = mgr.run_app(app_instance, use_app_config=use_app_config)\n  File "/home/wkozlowski/.virtualenvs/qne/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/squidasm/run/multithread/runtime_mgr.py", line 204, in run_app\n    results[name] = future.get()\n  File "/usr/lib64/python3.9/multiprocessing/pool.py", line 771, in get\n    raise self._value\n  File "/usr/lib64/python3.9/multiprocessing/pool.py", line 125, in worker\n    result = (True, func(*args, **kwds))\nTypeError: main() got an unexpected keyword argument \'x\'\n'}

The issues seems to be with the app configuration in the experiment's directory. In my case alice.yaml and bob.yaml had key/value pairs for variables "x" and "y". However, the unmodified application in app_alice.py and app_bob.py does not expect x or y. The command qne experiment run successfully completed once I added x and y as parameters to the main function in both app files. I expect that removing the key/value pairs from the config files would also work.

It would be nice if the unmodified and empty default application and experiment setup just ran instead of erroring.

@wkozlowski-tudelft This was already fixed in the latest version. Did you use the qne-adk version from pypi or the latest from the repository?

I was using the pypi version
