Hello all, I'm facing a problem with the precheck on the site shown in the screenshot, My repo link: https://github.com/MohamedAliYounis/GP_ASU_G22

@Marwan Abbas, @Kareem Farid: Has anyone looked into this? @Tobias Strauch reported the same error today. It appears that klayout is crashing on density DRC checks?

It was a problem on GDS file, I uploaded it using LFS instead of using gzip, and the problem was solved.

I also use LFS (180MB) instead of gzip.

Yes, we don't support LFS. Compress the GDS instead using

gzip -n --best user_project_wrapper.gds

.

@Tobias Strauch just use gzip and upload it again, it will pass

@Marwan Abbas: Okay, this seems to be an issue with using LFS, but we need to have some way to check that during precheck instead of having klayout crash mysteriously and produce a totally unrelated error message.

Thank you for your help, Gentlemen, it passes tapeout-check now. It works with the new PDK and gzip.

Will look into it, but we recommend you use

make compress

@Marwan Abbas The problem was the usage of LFS. It cannot be reproduced, because I switched from LFS to gzip, so that the problematic file is not available anymore. It worked with gzip. Thanks you, Tobias
