No exception thrown at unconverged geometry opt (geomeTRIC)

Geometry Optimization
1

Hi,

I need to develop a robust geometry optimization workflow which would be completely hands-off. I need to catch exceptions for that so I use the following code:

psi4.set_options({
    'geom_maxiter': 30
})

geometric_keywords = {
    'coordsys': 'tric',
    'maxiter': 30
}

try:
    energy, history = psi4.optimize('pbe0-d3bj/def2-svp', 
                                    molecule=mol, 
                                    return_wfn=False,
                                    return_history=True,
                                    engine='geometric',
                                    optimizer_keywords=geometric_keywords,
                                    func='gradient',
                                    dertype='gradient',
                                    hessian_with='pbe0-d3bj/def2-svp')

except OptimizationConvergenceError as e:
    print(f'\n!!! Optimization failed: {str(e)}')
    raise

The optimization I run doesn’t converge in either 30 or 50 iterations but I get no error. Not only it’s weird but I don’t wanna write a code for catching errors not internally detected by geomeTRIC or psi4. Am I doing something wrong or exceptions don’t rise when using geomeTRIC as the engine
?
