Reading plotfiles from boosted frame examples - ds.field_list error message about warpx HOT 8 CLOSED

I think this is a problem I introduced when I added information about the rigid injected species into WarpXHeader, to fix the restart when those were used.

I am leaving for vacation today, and I'll fix this for real when I get back. In the meantime, you can delete the lines at the end of WarpXHeader that have to do with the rigid injected species, leaving only the species charges and masses, and it should work.

Hi Andrew,

You are right, the attached input file without the beam-rigid-injection lines:

particles.rigid_injected_species = beam
beam.zinject_plane = 20.e-6
beam.rigid_advance = true

Works well and I can get all the data:

When I introduce the injection lines, it leads to the error above.
So I will work on my fork and branch without the part you mentioned in WarpXHeader.

FYI I have made a pull request to yt that fixes this issue: yt-project/yt#2289

Thanks!!

Just in case anyone else wants to model beams with the rigid option, until yt merges Andrew's PR, I decided to do the attached small bash script to remove the additional header lines automatically (to avoid making mistakes). So far it works for my runs.

To run it, first change it to ".sh", adapt the directory paths and confirm the WarpXHeader line numbers to be removed. Then use the command "bash rm_rigid_header.sh".

rm_rigid_header.txt

The original header files are stored in the new files WarpXHeader-stored, so you can double-check the changes.

Note that if you are running an input with multiple beams with the rigid option, you will have to remove multiple "sets" of lines in the WarpXHeader files.

pip install git+https://github.com/yt-project/yt.git

installs yt including @atmyers's fix to this problem, so we can close the issue.
