Different behaviour for instrument in facilities.xml

Reported by: Owen Arnold Owned by: Anders Markvardsen
Priority: major Milestone: Release 3.3
Component: Framework Keywords:
Cc: Blocked By:
Blocking: Tester: Federico M Pouzols

Description (last modified by Karl Palmen) (diff)

If you try to run Load, using an instrument, which is not registered in the facilities.xml, the IDF is not loaded.

If you then run LoadInstrument, and point it directly at the IDF, it does load, without going via the facilities xml.

We should try to make the behaviour consistent here.

Note that this issue was found while adding the new INTER IDF to our instruments directory.

When I loaded an INTER instrument raw or Nexus file I got the apparently same instrument as I got for running LoadEmptyInstrument on the INTER IDF.

Works for me.

  1. Copy instrument/ALF_Definition to AALF_Definition

I found that Load worked when pointing it to AALF_Definition

Also works for me. I tried several instrument definitions and all loaded correctly regardless of their path and/or name. Change for example ARGUS_Definition.xml => ARGOS_Definition.xml, and Load will produce the same results.
