Planner which work with Search Debugger

[CamblorBenjamin]

Hello, i'm trying to use the Search Debugger but it does not work with the planners I use (default one or pddl4j).

In your youtube video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NOVa4i7Us8 you use "Latest Schlumberger Planning Engine comman..." which look like to be the one that works.

Can you inform me about where I can find it please ? Or maybe add informations about how to get it on the main branch.

Thanks you

That is a pain point. I've published the interface the planners would need to implement in order to participate in the visual search debugger, but so far none of the planners implemented it to my knowledge.

It may not be hard to do in pddl4j.

Thanks for your answer, i'll try to do it so !

I do have some code that could be handy for pddl4j (because it is in Java). I should find some time to put it into my fork of pddl4j and you could pull it from there. The bulk of the work is to manage the http communication and creating the json messages. Depending on which version of Java is pddl4j compiled with and whether it has dependencies on some packages that help with JSON serialization, the implementation of this connector is simple or tedious. I have implementation that does not need any extra dependencies and work with just plane Java8. Would be happy to donate through the fork.

Then someone more familiar with pddl4j would need to weave it into the search and heuristic.
