Project.toml expands the CoolProp_jll version specifier to include 8.0 alongside the existing 6.6 and 7.1 entries.

CoolProp_jll Version Bump

Layer / File(s)	Summary
CoolProp_jll compat expansion Project.toml	Adds 8.0 to the [deps] version list for CoolProp_jll, extending compatibility from "6.6, 7.1" to "6.6, 7.1, 8.0".

🐇 A version grows, from seven to eight,
The jll expands — oh, isn't that great?
One line in the toml, a small little thing,
But new compat means new joy it will bring!
Hop hop, said the rabbit, and merged it with glee! 🎉

Local test (and presumably the now running CI) fails with:

ERROR: LoadError: CoolProp: Error: fugacity_coefficient is not well-defined in the two-phase region; evaluate on SatL or SatV instead

It's not clear to me how to fix this.

[longemen3000]

curious how it works for fugacity but not for fugacity_coefficient. the error comes from here:

https://github.com/CoolProp/CoolProp/blob/b72bc234801835834031cb06af694c89b3be9f73/src/Backends/Helmholtz/HelmholtzEOSMixtureBackend.cpp#L3470-L3501

This should be fixed in CoolProp/CoolProp#3262, so i think we need to wait up until the next library release.

Is there a way to hook the julia unit tests into the CoolProp ones?

[longemen3000]

it is not too hard (i did it in a different way before in Clapeyron), but it would require some changes in the package:

This line is the main interaction:

https://github.com/CoolProp/CoolProp.jl/blob/46a2496e77c673ea4782927eacb23364fa92e25d/src/CoolProp.jl#L5

CoolProp_jll (CoolProp distributed via the julia package manager) loads libcoolprop, that is used across every function call in the wrapper. and, libcoolprop is just a string with the path to the dynamic library:

julia> using CoolProp_jll: libcoolprop

julia> libcoolprop
"C:\\Users\\user\\.julia\\artifacts\\903b5a870bacd5fe7c398126c02a132fe726a08d\\bin\\libCoolProp.dll"

One could use Preferences.jl to change libcoolprop from the one provided by the jll package to one provided by any dynamic library:

import CoolProp_jll #in this way, we do not import libcoolprop into the module. until asked

 #Preferences was introduced in julia 1.6, this package supports even older versions of julia (last LTS version is 1.10)
@static if VERSION >= v"1.6"
    using Preferences
end

@static if VERSION >= v"1.6"
    const libcoolprop = @load_preference("coolprop_library", CoolProp_jll.libcoolprop)
else
    const libcoolprop = CoolProp_jll.libcoolprop
end

The only thing missing is the loading, probably a github worker could be written here that checks the coolprop master once a day and runs the tests with that library instead of the one provided by the package manager.
