qe 6.5 and yambo 4.5: fmt error with hybrids

Post by chwolf » Wed Apr 29, 2020 3:05 am

Dear all,

I have encountered an error that I cannot seem to fix; with the new QE version and Yambo 4.5 hybrid calculations give me an error at the conversion step:

Code: Select all

 <---> DBs path set to .
 <---> detected QE data format: qexsd
 <---> == PWscf v.6.x generated data (QEXSD fmt) ==
 <---> Header/K-points/Energies... done
 <---> Cell data...
 <---> [WARNING]Two or more crystal structures fit the given cell done
 <---> Atomic data... done
 <---> Symmetries...[SI yes]...[I yes]...[-I yes]...[TR no]
 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
     Error in routine qexsd_read_exx (4):
     fmt error
 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

     stopping ...
I thought this was related to the xml tags not being closed properly (as I had previously encountered), but that does not seem to be the source of the problem here.

I attached the xml file in the hope that someone with more knowledge can take a look!

Stay safe everyone!

Best,
Chris

Dear Chris,
thanks for reporting,
it seems that something has changed in the file format, I will have a look and let you know.
Best,

Indeed,
in the 6.5 some exx variables are not dumped anymore in the xml file for some xc functionals.
Let me check how to fix in a consistent way.

Daniele

Dear Daniele,

tested with and without hdf5 and it works like a charm - many thanks for the super fast fix!

Best,
Chris
