Error Running `quint verify`

[zicklag]

I'm getting an error when trying to run quint verify on the example bank.qnt from the website:

``` module bank { /// A state variable to store the balance of each account var balances: str -> int pure val ADDRESSES = Set("alice", "bob", "charlie") action deposit(account, amount) = { // Increment balance of account by amount balances' = balances.setBy(account, curr => curr + amount) } action withdraw(account, amount) = { // Decrement balance of account by amount balances' = balances.setBy(account, curr => curr - amount) } action init = { // At the initial state, all balances are zero balances' = ADDRESSES.mapBy(_ => 0) } action step = { // Non-deterministically pick an address and an amount nondet account = ADDRESSES.oneOf() nondet amount = 1.to(100).oneOf() // Non-deterministically choose to either deposit or withdraw any { deposit(account, amount), withdraw(account, amount), } } /// An invariant stating that all accounts should have a non-negative balance val no_negatives = ADDRESSES.forall(addr => balances.get(addr) >= 0) } ```

I've also tested using my own apalache install with the same result.

Thanks for the repo! Did you ever run quint verify for anything else btw? This seems to me like a general problem, not specific to the bank.qnt spec - am I correct?

Also, which OS are you on?

[zicklag]

Yeah, I couldn't get quint verify to work on any file yet.

I'm on Linux Pop!_OS 22.04 ( which is essentially Ubuntu 22.04 ):

Linux pop-os 6.9.3 x86_64 GNU/Linux

For some extra background, I had this work at one point on my system months ago, and then I ran it recently I'm not aware that I changed anything, but maybe my node module got updated, and this time I didn't work, so I'm not sure exactly what changed.
