Issue with reading ALPHABETA input and other multicolvar module objects #14

Closed Tenchberry closed 3 years ago

Tenchberry commented 6 years ago

I have successfully installed the plugin, although when running my script for metadynamics using any of the multicolvar to develop a collective variable for biasing, I receive this error on reading atoms:- The example below is for the ALPHABETA object.

PLUMED: Action ALPHABETA PLUMED: with label @1 PLUMED: ERROR in input to action ALPHABETA with label @1 : No atoms have been read in PLUMED:

I do not receive this kind of error when running using with other MD engines/packages patched to PLUMED, and using the same input files. Is there a specific problem with my build for the plugin or OpenMM in this respect? My build was made rather recently, if this provides some insight.

I'm not sure what that error means. It's coming from Plumed, not OpenMM. I did find a forum thread where someone was getting a similar error message: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/plumed-users/zE2aPPOVkPU. In that case, the problem was an error in their Plumed script. Does the explanation there help?

I agree with @peastman, this looks like a PLUMED issue rather than OpenMM-PLUMED. If it is still problem, it should be reported at https://github.com/plumed/plumed2
