I am getting this error while trying to run cace. Any solutions please? I copied the repo and only changed 'simulation' to 'tool' and 'electrical parameters' to 'parameter'. What is needed to do?

Which version of CACE are you running? I will push an update of my files later today that will work with the latest version of CACE. As indicated earlier, the code is currently undergoing changes.
s
I recently installed it so it should be the latest version. That maybe the reason. I'll be waiting for the codes to get changed first then.
b
I just updated my code, but CACE is still not working for me with the latest version. I sent a note to the developer to solve the problem. It has to do with my use of parameterized schematics. CACE currently seems to insist that all parameters must be specified in the YAML datasheet (which is a nightmare when there are dozens of W/L for automatic sizing/design exploration).
s
That sounds bad. I wish the CACE team makes it simpler, at least for the time being.
b
Yes, they just need to understand what people need and I think it will get done.
s
Is it updated now? Still showing lots of errors
b
Not yet.
You will also need to update your xschem to the latest version to make it work. Will post here when my update is finished.

oh Okay

I have now updated my buffer design example to work with the latest version of CACE, see here: https://github.com/bmurmann/Chipathon2024/tree/main/ota-5t-buf. The corresponding meetup slides are also updated: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/2PACX-1vRsXkpKEN2FEDzwbIBuY0PNdsgYScAbR_Q8w[…]Gk4zOPSOtIKFO_bpm6jJg/pub?start=false&loop=false&delayms=3000
