To test

Last updated: 2026-10-28 11:08 CET. Hand checks waiting for a person at the screen. An item is added when a fix is merged and removed when it has been checked; anything that fails goes back to its issue. "In build" is the first commit that contains the fix: the package you test must be that build or later.

How to help: anyone can take an item. Install the build named (packages from the latest CI run on main, or build as in GETTING_STARTED.md), follow "How to test", and comment on the linked issue: what you did, what you saw, operating system and version, and a screenshot if something looks wrong.

Linux, on main

Reconnect with radium off radium switched off or hung; select its calculation(s), Run Mgmt > Reconnect Selected, then Cancel Cancel returns at once; ECCE stays usable; no 'using the built-in ssh client' line after a timeout; stored results of the calculation are still there 65ce64d7
Selection before opening Select 3 atoms, then open Density Map (and separately 2 atoms, then Density Profile) The plane / line goes through the atoms selected before opening 65ce64d7
Progress box: Incomplete reason Select an out-of-memory calculation (01_Ti2Nb8O28Na3H2O_8m_d2_na_orca_optfreq) Last line of the Progress box: 'Incomplete: Out of memory: the scheduler killed the job (OUT_OF_MEMORY)'; buttons do not overlap the Viewer row 65ce64d7
Allocations: Remaining on submission Launch a small job to Kebnekaise (hpc2n2026-351), select it 'Remaining on submission: 74.6 % of 30 000 CPU-h/month (past 30 days)' (or similar) under Allocation #613 65ce64d7
Tools > Allocations Organizer: Tools > Allocations... (logged in to Kebnekaise first), Refresh One row per machine and account: e.g. '25.4 % of 30 000 CPU-h/month used (past 30 days)' for hpc2n2026-351; no 'not recognised' #613 65ce64d7
Details dialogs on a small screen Calculation Editor, Gaussian 16: Theory Details; drag the window corner smaller Window resizes; settings scroll; Close and Reset stay visible 65ce64d7
No internal names as tooltips Gaussian 16 Theory Details: hover over the checkboxes and fields No tooltips like 'ES.Theory.UseCartesian'; real help tooltips still shown 9a40cc9f
Density Profile on a cluster Viewer, 01_Nb10O28Li_5m_s1_orca_optfreq (or the Ac-Ala + ClO4 one): Density Profile, pick two atoms, Show all occupied, then click an atom (atom mode) No busy cursor; curves appear within a second or two; atom mode shows a progress window that moves and Cancel stops it #629 65ce64d7
Density Map right-drag Density Map, zoom in with the wheel, then drag with the right mouse button The map moves with the pointer; full grid follows when you stop; double-click returns to the whole plane 5bb3e9e4
Mode composition: Add Selected Vibrational Frequencies, Composition...; select 3 atoms in the 3-D view (a bend), press Add Selected 'a-b-c' with the middle atom bonded to both appears in the box and in the table 5bb3e9e4
Argon at four temperatures Delete Examples/General_Chemistry, File > Open Example Calculations > General Chemistry; Gases, liquids and solids: open ar-slab-40K, then Compare with 100K, 130K, 200K; play each trajectory 40 K a crystal slab, 100 K a liquid slab with a few atoms in the vapour, 130 K a spread slab with much vapour, 200 K atoms filling the box; MSD flat at 40 K and rising with T #626 590d1e13 (speed distributions; not in deb 87851b10)
Register Machines narrower Tools > Register Machines, Machine tab No Vendor/Model/Processor row; the window is narrower; saving keeps the machine working — 380ea423
GROMACS launch messages GROMACS Dynamics: Dynamics tab, constant pressure on, pressure relaxation time 0.5 ps; Run settings, barostat interval 100; time step 2 fs (the default). Launch The launch check stops on grompp's warning; the message says 'Dynamics tab, pressure relaxation time (tau-p)' and 'Run settings, barostat interval (nstpcouple)' instead of bare .mdp keys, and suggests a larger relaxation time #527 169c1982
ORCA opt not converged ORCA Opt with a small cycle limit (e.g. %geom MaxIter 3 end in the input), Launch Ends Unsuccessful; summary reason quotes 'The optimization did not converge' #614 d1c18d47
Request lines per queue Register Machines, Kebnekaise, Queues tab: put #SBATCH --constraint=zen4 in Request lines, Update Queue, Save; Launcher on that queue: job script preview; launch a short job The line is in the preview and in the submitted script; the job starts on a zen4 node. A Slurm machine without the memory option (KebnekaiseZ4) shows Memory in the Launcher #624 8024cb5a
scancel on the cluster Launch to Kebnekaise, then scancel the job on the cluster while it is pending Within a minute or so the calculation shows Killed, reason 'cancelled on …'; Reconnect not needed #636 ef9daa18
macOS GROMACS examples Mac with a dmg from 85c44ab5 or later: delete Examples/General_Chemistry, reopen the set, open ar-liquid Atoms drawn, Geometry Trace and MD analysis present #630 85c44ab5

| Check | How to test | What to look for | Issue | In build | | Density Map zoom | Viewer, any calculation with orbitals (e.g. a larger ORCA run): Density Map, scroll the mouse wheel over the map several times quickly, then stop | No 'Evaluating...' dialog; while scrolling the line under the map says 'Coarse grid while zooming'; shortly after you stop the map sharpens, with 'Full grid: N %' in that line on a large molecule | #645 | b8de276b (not in a package yet) | | ORCA integration grid | New ORCA calculation, DFT; Theory Details: Integration Grid, choose DefGrid3; Save, then Final Edit (or Verify) | The input's '!' line has DEFGRID3 next to the functional; with Default there is none; closing and reopening the editor keeps DefGrid3 | #644 | 8024634a (not in a package yet) |

Hand-edited input kept Any new calculation: Save; Final Edit, change a line of the input and save it there; then change a setting in the editor and Save A question 'The input file was changed by hand' with Keep my input (highlighted, Return chooses it), Regenerate and Cancel; Keep leaves your edited line in the input (Final Edit shows it); Regenerate replaces it #622 e7cdbcf3 (not in a package yet)
