The Python package Cerberus is used to validate the format and content of the given ChemKED file. How does this package handles/reports the inconsistencies with the schemas? As far as my local test went with giving a corrupted YAML file to the ChemKED initiator, the package just spits out a Python error, which might be not the most user-friendly solution.

From Kyle:

We've already talked about the less-than-useful error messages that Cerberus gives; I'm not sure if there's anything we can do here other than address the issue and say we plan to improve these in the future.

bryanwweber commented 7 years ago

Indeed, this is going to require some work on Cerberus itself, as well as work in PyKED.

Perhaps that's what we can say, but also add something to the paper & PyKED docs that says something like "currently errors in ChemKED files may lead to complicated error messages; here are some common issues & fixes"

The issue that was holding this up was fixed by someone else! https://github.com/pyeve/cerberus/issues/278#event-1272668611 Wahoo! Now we just need him to make a new release :smile:

Whoops, put the wrong issue in the commit to address this: https://github.com/pr-omethe-us/pyked-papers/commit/0471f9664c6ba96fe0b052b5071d272a161801f9

Response seems fine; this is a PyKED issue and not ChemKED itself, so I think we're fine to leave as open issue to be resolved.
