KIM Unit Tests

[ilia_nikiforov]

Hi all,

I am making some long-needed updates to the KIM unit tests, documentation, and CMakeLists after a report from Lara Peeters that the LAMMPS unit tests in her EasyBuild workflow are failing with version 2.4.1 of the KIM API (on AArch64 only)

Am I correct in understanding that currently none of the github workflows run the KIM unit tests (either the standard ones or the extra ones enabled with KIM_EXTRA_UNITTESTS)?

That is correct.

with version 2.4.1 of the KIM API

The current state of LAMMPS is still having version 2.2.1 to be downloaded.

on AArch64 only

There are several issues on that platform where certain tests may randomly fail.

Thanks! I’ve already updated the CMakeLists to download 2.4.1 and the tests are passing (on Ubuntu x64 for now) in my branch.

If you want us to include this in the next LAMMPS release, you will have to hurry.
The next release is planned for Wednesday, and you have to get through the review processing, which is unfortunately unusually slow these days.
