Verbose: no output for attributes #221

Open PrometheusPi opened 8 years ago

PrometheusPi commented 8 years ago

There seems to be no verbose output for writing attributes. (Tested with both the parallel and serial data connector) Even for export SPLASH_VERBOSE=100.

This makes debugging due to errors during writing attributes difficult.

Would it make sense to add output for attributes as well? Is such output already included for "higher" verbose levels?

I saw that too and when following the thrown exceptions they actually point quite clearly to the point and H5Acreate calls one is looking for. This is actually quite ok for a developer.

For a user it's also quite clear that the writeAttribute call failed and he/she can forward the exception to the developer.

Nevertheless, I think one can add some more info but I did not find a place that I would have needed more information right now.
