Allow capital letters in restart file names #341
Comments
I have to admit that I got burned by this a few times already.

The capital letter is supported if you use double quotation.

Yes, but I think the point is that the error is really not informative if you use the incorrect syntax. I think it would be nice to a warning if the name of the restart file has a capital letter.
It drove me crazy a few times until I realized my mistake later. It’s not uncommon to have other issues with the file system.
But I also think that when the documentation is up and running this should be a lesser issue.

Key/value pairs in par are case insensitive unless you use "value". We could also make it mandatory to put the restart file name in quotes. However this will break existing par files. |
If you try to use a restart file with a capital letter (like
Re1000.fld
), nekRS throws an unhelpful abort message:Describe the solution you'd like
NekRS should either print a useful error message that makes it clear that the source of the error is capitalization (and not any of the contents of the restart file itself), or else allow files with capital letters.
