TSelector errors

ROOT
1

Hi,

I am trying to create an analysis program on the root tree that I have created. I have used MakeSelector to make a source and header files.

So far I have added a simple std::cout statement to the Process() function.

fChain->GetTree()->GetEntry(entry);
if(nMuon!=0)
std::cout << "muon charge is " <<Muon_charge[0] << std::endl;

I am using a simple script to run the analysis:

#include
void run_bprime_analyzer()
{
TChain* fChain=new TChain(“ntuplizer/bprime_tree”);
// farm data
fChain->Add("/cms/data11/bprime/bkgrnd/ntuple.root"); fChain->Process("/$HOME/CMSSW_1_6_9/src/bprime_tree.C++");
}

However, I am getting the following errors:

root [0] .x run_bprime_analyzer.C

Probably your macro uses something rootcint can’t parse.

Error in TSelector::GetSelector: file /$HOME/CMSSW_1_6_9/src/bprime_tree.C++ does not have a valid class deriving from TSelector

None of it make any sense to me. Can somebody please explain what am I doing wrong?

thank you very much,

Dmitry.

I am getting some clues: If I open the root file directly and then use TBrowser() to get inside the folder that contains my tree then the following command works:

bprime_tree->Process(“bprime_tree.C+”);

However, I still do not know how to do it with the TChain.

Hi,

In your failed case you used:fChain->Process("/$HOME/CMSSW_1_6_9/src/bprime_tree.C++"); . In your successful case you used: bprime_tree->Process("bprime_tree.C+"); .The difference is the way you pointed to the selector file. In the ‘broken’ case, the name is expressed in such a way that the system is inconsistently referring to your file and getting confused. So hopefully you can use:fChain->Process("bprime_tree.C+");

Cheers,
Philippe.

yes, I can use this. And it does work. Thank you for your help!
