Index Out Of Range problem

[yelyah]

Hello guys! I am working on a code that takes lines from ASC log file that logs CAN messages from vehicle. I get this error even tho my programs runs good. I would appreciate any help given here to resolve this issue. Thank you!

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Users/Luka/Desktop/Diplomski/CAN_parser.py", line 290, in <module>
main()
File "C:/Users/Luka/Desktop/Diplomski/CAN_parser.py", line 285, in main
message_type_recognizer(message_split)
File "C:/Users/Luka/Desktop/Diplomski/CAN_parser.py", line 219, in message_type_recognizer
elif can_message[4] == "d":
IndexError: list index out of range

This is example of message where "d" is on position 4.

['20.688593', '1', '9', 'Rx', 'd', '8', '04', '00', '00', '00', '00', '00', '00', '00', 'Length', '=', '242000', 'BitCount', '=', '125', 'ID', '=', '9']

And in the next quotes is way to get this error.

Firstly program is reading file line by line and splitting it in a list like is quoted up there.

def main(): line_counter = 1 # ASCOpen = open(ASCFilePath, 'r') with open(ASCFilePath) as ASCOpen: for line in ASCOpen: line = line.strip() message_split = line.split(' ') message_split = list(filter(lambda a: a != '', message_split)) print(line_counter) print(message_split) message_type_recognizer(message_split) line_counter = line_counter + 1

This is part of code where it says index out of range.

def message_type_recognizer(can_message): if can_message[0] == "date" or can_message[0] == "base" or can_message[0] == "internal" or can_message[0] == "//" or can_message[0] == "Begin" or can_message[1] == "Start": header_parser(can_message) elif can_message[4] == "d": print(len(can_message)) can_message_parser(can_message)

And now the fun part where I think is mistake but I am not sure. the next part of the code takes message and if (i.e can_message[5] = 8 then connect next 8 values in one string like '04', '00', '00', '00', '00', '00', '00' connect them in 04000.. )

def can_message_parser(can_message): can_payload_number = int(can_message[5]) starting_range = 6 ending_range = starting_range + can_payload_number - 1 can_payload_value = "" for x in range(starting_range, ending_range + 1): can_payload_value = can_payload_value + can_message[starting_range] starting_range = starting_range + 1 length_position = 6 + int(can_message[5]) + 2 bitcount_position = length_position + 3 CANMessageObject = CANDataMessage(can_message, can_payload_value, length_position, bitcount_position)

And down below is class for one CANDataMessage

class CANDataMessage: def __init__(self, can_msg, can_payload_number, length_position, bit_count_position): self.Time = can_msg[0] self.Channel = can_msg[1] self.ID = can_msg[2] self.Dir = can_msg[3] self.FrameType = can_msg[4] self.Dlc = can_msg[5] self.Payload = can_payload_number self.Length = can_msg[length_position] self.BitCount = can_msg[bit_count_position]

The problem is at some point your can_message has len < 5 thus the index error
what is the output from print(message_split) just before the error?

[yelyah]

This is output of print(message_split) in main program before error:

['20.678080', '1', '9', 'Rx', 'd', '8', '04', '00', '00', '00', '00', '00', '00', '00', 'Length', '=', '242000', 'BitCount', '=', '125', 'ID', '=', '9']

This is output of print(can_message) in message_type_recognizer

['20.688593', '1', '9', 'Rx', 'd', '8', '04', '00', '00', '00', '00', '00', '00', '00', 'Length', '=', '242000', 'BitCount', '=', '125', 'ID', '=', '9']

It even prints after elif condition can_message[4] as value "d"

It even prints after elif condition can_message[4] as value "d"

well, if it raise error on that line, it cannot print after that :-)

EDIT: can you upload sample file that you parse and that cause the error

Yeeep I just got idea what could be the problem and it seems that if message is shorter then 5 elements it will make this error.

because my recognizer function is

def message_type_recognizer(can_message): if can_message[0] == "date" or can_message[0] == "base" or can_message[0] == "internal" or can_message[0] == "//" or can_message[0] == "Begin" or can_message[1] == "Start": header_parser(can_message) elif can_message[4] == "d": can_message_parser(can_message) elif can_message[4] == "r": can_remote_frame_parser(can_message) elif can_message[2] == "ErrorFrame": can_error_frame_parser(can_message) elif can_message[2] == "Statistic:": can_statistic_event_parser(can_message) elif can_message[3] == "Status:chip": can_error_event_parser(can_message) elif can_message[8] == "TxErr:": can_error_event_parser(can_message) elif can_message[2] == "OverloadFrame": can_overload_frame_parser(can_message) else: can_end_triggerblock_parser(can_message)

I think now you see it for yourself

Yeeep I just got idea what could be the problem and it seems that if message is shorter then 5 elements it will make this error.

That's exactly what I said in my first post

The problem is at some point your can_message has len < 5 thus the index error
