Issue with tos and sos variables -- and with revisions after 19 feb 2018

[treerink]

Hi Stephane,

I tried to run dr2xml with as less modifications as possible. By default, I use the latest Shaconemo repository of ORCA1_LIM3_PISCES/EXP00, this provides the ping files and the iodef.xml, field_def files etc. Doing this I encountered a problem with the tos and sos variables. If I delete the two tos and sos lines from the ping file I am able to run dr2xml, i.e. it produces an file_def file. If I don't omit them from the ping file, I was only able to run dr2xml by interchanging at some point in dr2xml.py the value and the key of a dictionary (status somewhere november 2017), later I had to merge my changes with your updates so I had to adjust them.

As these are rather ad hoc modifications I created a tiny repository ece-dr2xml-patch. The changes with which I was able to run dr2xml until a few updates ago are these. I use this to run dr2xml.

Until the updates of 16 feb 2018:

git checkout b5ca5961891f66d99e1d00e4780897e2dd3e2039

with the applied modifications I could run dr2xml, and until the update of 19 feb 2018

git checkout 4f03d659fe5fd4871925e55eaacea5e9f519d0dc

this still worked if I additionally removed the variables CMIP6_hcont300 and CMIP6_sftof from the ocean ping file.

Unfortunately, but I believe another issue, for the updates thereafter none of the variables is any more found. So I am not able to run dr2xml with the latest version at all.

Hopefully you have some ideas on this?
Regards, Thomas
