catching errors in RNetCDF

Hi Pascal,

Well, as i see it, this is no error, just a simple message printed to
the screen claiming that it is an error. All the mechanisms in R to
handle errors (e.g a stop of code execution etc) are, however, not
initiated.

Hi,

When I try your example, I simply get an error:

 > library(RNetCDF)
 > con <- create.nc('test.nc')
 > test <- try(var.get.nc(con, 'dummy'))

Error : NetCDF: Variable not found

Dear R community,


I quite frequently run into errors while using the RNetCDF package which
do not seem to be recognised as normal R errors and, hence, do not stop
the execution of the code making it hard to debug the code.

Consider, for example:

library(RNetCDF)
con <- create.nc('test.nc')
test <- try(var.get.nc(con, 'dummy'))


In this case, some sort of error message is printed to the screen, but R
does not recognise this as an error. Is there any way to solve this?

I contacted the author of the package but it seems that there will be no
solution from that side.


Any Ideas?

Jannis
