ADE-XL

analogy
analogy over 9 years ago

Somehow I cannot plot my output in ADE-XL.This is what I see in my CIW :

*WARNING* (reader): illegal character '%' ignored at line 1 of string "..._noise_time:1" ?history %"

*Error* AbstractMethod: Needs to be implemented by the appropriate sub-class

    There's not really a thing called an "ADE XL state" - or at least that's ambiguous. So are you referring to:

    1. The name of the ADE XL view?
    2. The name of a Setup State within ADE XL?
    3. The name of a test within ADE XL?

    I think this is a bug, regardless of where it is, because illegal characters should either be disallowed or should be mapped if they cause problems. There is some support by an env var to do mapping of some characters within the ADE XL view itself (this for strange historical reasons is not enabled by default), but that wouldn't help if this is the name of the ADE XL view itself.

    Personally I would stick to alphanumeric characters and underscore, and not begin with a number. That's generally a safe bet with most applications. However, as I said, we should be able to handle this regardless...

    Regards,

    Andrew.
