Unable to run Example

[iimog]

I'm unable to run the perpendicular-flap tutorial using nix-precice. I installed nix-static on Ubuntu 22.04 through running setup.sh. After that I cloned the precice-tutorials and in tutorials/perpendicular-flap/solid-calculix tried running:

nix-static shell --accept-flake-config "github:precice/nix-packages#precice-calculix-adapter" "github:precice/nix-packages#precice-openfoam-adapter"
./run.sh

This results in the error message:

---[precice] ERROR:  The configuration contains an unknown tag <data:vector>.

I already did have nix installed. So I also tried it using nix rather than nix-static but this results in the same error message.

Also, I use zsh as my default shell. That's why I had to quote the flakes to avoid the error

zsh: no matches found: github:precice/nix-packages#precice-calculix-adapter

---[precice] ERROR: The configuration contains an unknown tag <data:vector>.

I am not a maintainer in this repository, but this error most probably means that this is preCICE v2 looking at tutorials prepared for preCICE v3.

The last tutorials release that works with preCICE v2 is v202211.0: https://github.com/precice/tutorials/releases/tag/v202211.0 The packages are probably looking for the master or develop branch, which was recently updated to preCICE v3.

[iimog]

Thank you! This was indeed the problem. It works after cloning the tutorial with:

git clone --depth 1 --branch v202211.0 https://github.com/precice/tutorials

It might be a good idea to add this information to the README (or maybe even better, update the nix package to use preCICE v3). Thanks again for the quick and helpful reply.
