What happened?

I am trying to json data and get the structures, energies and forces as shows in the fine_tuning.ipynb. However, there is an error in reading the json data. The error message shows the list indices was set as a string rather than integers.

Code snippet

dataset_dict = read_json("./my_vasp_calc_dir/chgnet_dataset.json")
structures = [Structure.from_dict(struct) for struct in dataset_dict["structure"]]
energies = dataset_dict["energy_per_atom"]
forces = dataset_dict["force"]

Log output

Can you try update your pymatgen version?

[danialWang]

Hi Bowen,
Thank you for your quick response. I did use the latest version of pymatgen (2024.6.4). I found in the source code of pymatgen.core.Structure, there is a todo note, which may related to the error as I received. I have attach the code below. This line has been noted from 10-2023 version of Pymatgen. Is it possible the errors comes from the Pymatgen? Do you have any suggestions to solve the issue? Thanks!

TODO return type needs fixing (can be list[Site] but raises lots of mypy errors)

def __getitem__(self, ind: int | slice) -> Site:

2024.6.4 is not the latest version. see v2024.8.9. if you can produce a minimal repro with the latest version, would be great if you can open an issue over at pymatgen
