A room's not available times

[Devrim Altınkurt]

Hi,
I would like to report an error regarding the time period when classrooms are not available.
I added the sample file.

• First I created a new file.
• I added an activity (act1, duration:6, no teacher, no students).
• I added a class (room1).
• I added the "An activity has a preferred room" rule. (act1 -> room1)
• I added the "A room's not available time" rule. I turned off all hours and turned on only 5 hours.
• When I click "Generate" button, the program goes into an infinite loop because there is no control.

I hope I could explain
Kind regards.

Hello,

I am sorry, but I do not understand the problem. Do you mean FET should warn that it is impossible and not begin the generation? It is too complicated to take care of all situations, unfortunately.

You are doing this control for teachers and studentsets.

Indeed, but each activity has an exact assigned teacher and students set (or none, or more), and also teacher/students set not available is only with 100% weight percentage.

But each activity may have zero, one or more related space constraints with variable weight percentage, and also room not available can have any weight percentage.

So in general many cases may appear.

I will add your suggestion in the TODO.
