Just for fun I downloaded and installed the NCAlgebra package. However upon running the NCTEST suite I got the following right off the bat:

SUMMARY OF TESTS

  • 22 files tested.
  • 1822 tests completed in 2.81575 seconds.
  • 1819 succeeded.
  • 3 failed.

SetCommutingOperators::AlreadyDefined: Symbols y and x were already defined commutative. Replacing existing rule.

TagUnset::norep: Assignment on y for NonCommutativeMultiplyPrivatec___yx**NonCommutativeMultiplyPrivated___ not found.

TagUnset::norep: Assignment on x for NonCommutativeMultiplyPrivatec___yx**NonCommutativeMultiplyPrivated___ not found.

  • Test #120 failed. Result:

    True

    differs from correct answer:

    False

  • Test #121 failed. Result:

    True

    differs from correct answer:

    False

SetCommutingOperators::AlreadyDefined: Symbols y and x were already defined commutative. Replacing existing rule.

TagUnset::norep: Assignment on y for NonCommutativeMultiplyPrivatec___yx**NonCommutativeMultiplyPrivated___ not found.

General::stop: Further output of TagUnset::norep will be suppressed during this calculation.

  • Test #130 failed. Result:

    True

    differs from correct answer:

    False

END NCTEST

EVEN IF ALL THE TESTS SUCCEEDED YOU SHOULD QUIT THE KERNEL

IN YOUR MATHEMATICA SESSION AND START OVER.

Is anyone on here familiar with this package? And if so am I getting something others see or not?

My guess is you did not had a clean kernel when you ran the test. The complaint about x and y already been defined is a teller. Please quit the kernel before running the tests.

  • $\begingroup$ Hi, I thought that but I had quit the kernel before running the tests. And I just a few minutes ago tried again - it failed the same way. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ What version Mathematica and OS? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I was thinking this might be along the lines of the problem. $Version gives "13.0.0 for Mac OS X ARM (64-bit) (December 3, 2021)" $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I have download v.13.0.0 of Mathematica and I cannot reproduce your testing results. I still think you do not have a clean Kernel. Do you have anything on init.m or other initialization files? What happens when you type ? x before running the tests? If you still have the issue please submit a detailed report on the github repo. github.com/NCAlgebra/NC/issues $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ There were a variety of problems that were related to recent Mathematica upgrades. Every upgrade is a roller coaster ride! NCAlgebra is such a complex package that minor changes in obscure functions can have an impact. What was causing what you were seeing was a change in the default behavior of the ValueQ function that got rolled out in the 12.2 update. Fortunately it only affected the behavior of the tests, not any major functionality. I took the chance to roll out many more upgrades that were in the works in the development version to put them into the latest release. $\endgroup$
