Misformatted SYNTH_STRATEGY

[lovisXII]

Description

Hello, I've setup a config.json file for my flow :

{
    "DESIGN_NAME": "core",
    "VERILOG_FILES": "dir::src/*.v",
    "PDK": "sky130A",
    "RUN_LINTER":0,

    "CLOCK_PERIOD": 10,
    "CLOCK_PORT": "clk",
    "CLOCK_NET": "ref::$CLOCK_PORT",

    "SYNTH_AUTONAME":1,
    "SYNTH_BIN":"yosys",
    "SYNTH_STRATEGY":"DELAY",
    "SYNTH_BUFFERING":1,

    "STD_CELL_LIBRARY":"sky130_fd_sc_hd",
    "FP_PDN_SKIPTRIM": true,
    "pdk::sky130*": {
        "FP_CORE_UTIL": 45,
        "scl::sky130_fd_sc_hd": {
            "CLOCK_PERIOD": 10
        },
        "scl::sky130_fd_sc_hdll": {
            "CLOCK_PERIOD": 10
        },
        "scl::sky130_fd_sc_hs": {
            "CLOCK_PERIOD": 8
        },
        "scl::sky130_fd_sc_ls": {
            "CLOCK_PERIOD": 10,
            "MAX_FANOUT_CONSTRAINT": 5
        },
        "scl::sky130_fd_sc_ms": {
            "CLOCK_PERIOD": 10
        }
    },
    "pdk::gf180mcu*": {
        "CLOCK_PERIOD": 24.0,
        "FP_CORE_UTIL": 40,
        "MAX_FANOUT_CONSTRAINT": 4,
        "PL_TARGET_DENSITY": 0.5
    }
}

When I try to enter something like "DELAY 1" in the SYNTH_STRATEGY variable, or any other numbers btw 0-4. It doesn't work, I got the following error :

[ERROR]: during executing yosys script /openlane/scripts/yosys/synth.tcl

Did I miss any stepped ?

Expected Behavior

I would expect it to not fail since in the documentation it is written we can chosse between DELAY/AREA 0-4/0-3

@lovisXII In your example, your are setting it to DELAY. It should set to values similar to DELAY 0, DELAY 1, AREA 0, etc.

[lovisXII]

Well wrong copy paste my mistake, it doesnt work with DELAY 0 but it does with just DELAY

[lovisXII]

You can see here I tried with DELAY 0 and it doesnt work

@lovisXII The error message and the config file don't match. Maybe you haven't saved the config file (there's an M:modified after the filename.) The Correct format message may be a little misleading. The correct values are DELAY 0-4 or AREA 0-3. You can check the code here.

[lovisXII]

Indeed you're correct my script to copy the config file in the correct directory had a mistake and the file was not copied, thanks !
