No IDD found with EnergyPlus 22.2.0

[jason-curtis]

I'm new to EnergyPlus so this might just have been an installation issue; any debugging help would be appreciated.

• Opyplus Package Version: 1.4.2
• Operating System: Ubuntu 22.04
• Python Version: 3.10

Describe the bug Error : "ValueError: No idd was found for version (22, 2, 0)." when loading an example model with a freshly installed EnergyPlus 22.2.0

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. install latest EnergyPlus using the .run file from energyplus.net.
2. Run:

   import os
   import opyplus as op
   from opyplus.compatibility.simulation import EPLUS_AVAILABLE_VERSIONS
   EPLUS_AVAILABLE_VERSIONS # {(22, 2): '/usr/local/EnergyPlus-22-2-0'}
   eplus_dir = op.get_eplus_base_dir_path((22,2,0))
   model_file_path = os.path.join(
   eplus_dir,
   "ExampleFiles",
   "1ZoneEvapCooler.idf"
   )
   op.Epm.load(model_file_path)

Expected behavior model loads

Screenshots Error:

     41 if not os.path.isfile(path):
---> 42     raise ValueError(f"No idd was found for version {version}.")
     43 return path

ValueError: No idd was found for version (22, 2, 0).

Note that I am able to run EnergyPlus directly, which makes me think that my E+ installation is working fine:

$ energyplus -w /usr/local/EnergyPlus-22-2-0/WeatherData/USA_CA_San.Francisco.Intl.AP.724940_TMY3.epw  /usr/local/EnergyPlus-22-2-0/ExampleFiles/1ZoneEvapCooler.idf

Also, I confirmed that there's an .idd file present:

/usr/local/EnergyPlus-22-2-0$ head Energy+.idd
!IDD_Version 22.2.0
!IDD_BUILD c249759bad
