Warning (and error) when doing oct files and during linescan

[dvalencia00]

First, thanks a lot for your nice work!
Until now I have been using bif_rad 0.3.4 and it was ok. A few days ago I reinstalled in order to update everything, so I have started using bif_rad v0.4.2, Python 3.11, Radiance 5.4a (2023-08-04), last PVLib, etc.

The problem is that I have started getting errors like this one either when creating the oct files or during the analysis. Please, see images below.

Do you have any idea of the reason? Maybe the problem come from Radiance version? I have checked the files and several things but I found nothing.

This errors are from the 1-axis example directly copied from your site, during the analysis. Attached you can find the folder and files from this simulation.

One thing I see is that 'weathered_steel' is not in the ground.rad material list. Have you tried adding it and re-running the simulation? We have an addmaterial function, or you can add it manually. Alternatively change that weathered_steel to an existing material.

Thanks for check and detect this error. I have now repeated the simulations exactly as they are in your tutorial section with common materials. The only difference is the testfolder definition (several times already used succesfully). I still get the same warning and errors. I am pretty lost, so any help is welcomed. Images, code and folders below.
