I have defined a new derived dimension with
[molar_energy] = [energy] / [substance]
However, if I do the following it complains:
>>> UR.get_compatible_units('[molar_energy]')
Traceback (most recent call last):

KeyError: <UnitsContainer({'[length]': 2, '[mass]': 1, '[substance]': -1, '[time]': -2})
I saw that there is a conversion included in a context but I don't use it. What I am doing wrong?
Thanks for your help
PS: logged issue https://github.com/hgrecco/pint/issues/1418
Just leaving the solution here for anyone who faces this issue as well.
I just added a made-up unit and it worked
# Molar Energy
[molar_energy] = [energy] / [substance]
mol_en = J / mol
