| Summary | 0002942: Unclear error message if keyword not found due to Foam::IOobject::NO_READ | ||||
| Description | If the programmer inadvertently sets a fvMesh readOption as Foam::IOobject::NO_READ and then tries to construct a simpleControl passing this fvMesh as the argument, they receive the error: keyword SIMPLE is undefined in dictionary "/home/user/pitzDaily/system/fvSolution" even though the keyword SIMPLE is defined in the file. This error message does not correctly describes the problem and can mislead the programmer about their mistake. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1 - In applications/solvers/incompressible/simpleFoam/simpleFoam.C, change Foam::fvMesh mesh's readOption from Foam::IOobject::MUST_READ to Foam::IOobject::NO_READ. 2 - recompile simpleFoam 3 - run it on tutorials/incompressible/simpleFoam/pitzDaily | ||||
| Additional Information | I would suggest that the error message inform that the dictionary was not read because of the fvMesh readOption, if easy to implement. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

It is not possible to run simpleFoam without reading the mesh so I would advise that you do not set the construction to NO_READ. I do not see how you want your proposed change to work or why and your contribution is not attached to us to study. |

I don't think there is any need adding this kind of complexity of diagnostics to handle this extremely unusual case which does not cause a crash. I suggest that you do not set NO_READ for the mesh read constructor. |
