[QE-users] Impossible to download pseudopotential for QE test-suite

[Husak Michal]

I can confirm the issue is related to the cygwin64 probably ...


I was able to handle the problem by modifying the content of the

check_pseudo.sh file in following way:


Original not working for cygwin64:

${DOWNLOADER} ${ESPRESSO_PSEUDO}/${pp_file} ${NETWORK_PSEUDO}/${pp_file} 2> /dev/null


Functional with cygwing64 (dirty trick):

${DOWNLOADER} ..//pseudo/${pp_file} ${NETWORK_PSEUDO}/${pp_file} 2> /dev/null


The command sequence generated by the original .sh in the form as eg.:
curl -o /cygdrive/m/My_project/fortran/qe/qe-7.0/test-suite/..//pseudo/O.pz-rrkjus.UPF https://www.quantum-espresso.org/wp-content/uploads/upf_files//O.pz-rrkjus.UPF

is not accepted by cygwin64 - it is unhappy with the target directory ...
