Incorrect handling of error/warning when idslist is applied to a UDA URI

[olivhoenen]

The issue was raised in a meeting by @DavidPCoster and could finally be reproduced (not that it affects also IDStools and IMAS-Python installed in their develop version):

(venv23b) [hoeneno@98dci4-srv-1005 support]$ pip freeze|grep imas
imas-core==5.7.2
imas-data-dictionaries==4.1.1
imas-idstools==2.4.1
imas-python==2.3.0

(venv23b) [hoeneno@98dci4-srv-1005 support]$ idslist -u "imas://uda.iter.org:56565/uda?path=/work/imas/shared/imasdb/ITER/3/134174/117;backend=hdf5"

Now the behavior was different with imas-python==2.1.0, giving a clue at the source of this problem: in version 2.2.0 was introduced the differed DD parsing, which, together with the special case of multi DD version and UDA.

Now an immediate solution (or more a work-around as far as end-user is concerned) is to append cache_mode=none to the URI query:

(venv23b) [hoeneno@98dci4-srv-1005 support]$ idslist -u "imas://uda.iter.org:56565/uda?path=/work/imas/shared/imasdb/ITER/3/134174/117;backend=hdf5;cache_mode=none"

But we can probably do better in IDStools's CLI scripts when pointing to UDA URIs.
