Give meaningful error message, if datafields, which are required for a layer are not present #1640

When trying to get server capabilities for layers, which are defined, but for which not all of the required datafields are available, it results in the following error message:

2022-12-16 15:45:19,706 (wms.get_capabilities:600): ERROR: layer <mslib.mswms.mpl_vsec_styles.VS_HorizontalVelocityStyle_01 object at 0x7f7d044dc640>/model has no valid times!

In my opinion it would be better to specifically print out, which variables are missing for this layer, instead of mentioning "no valid times", which are misleading.

Hi, is this issue still open? I'm a beginner to open source contribution. I'd like to work on this issue

Hi @CipJusCodin this is not for begginers using the services of this software. Meaningful for a user means the exact hint what he needs to get his problem solved. This needs also access to data having that problem.

Actually, this error message also comes when the netCDF file is not in "NETCDF4_CLASSIC" format...
