[feature] Throw readable error when colors used instead of color_code
Hello! I discovered WireViz today while looking for options to improve on my current harnessing system of Excel spreadsheets. I've been attempting to use it, but I keep coming across exceptions without any clear way to debug them.
The issue I keep hitting my head against at the moment is a TypeError:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/wireviz", line 8, in <module>
sys.exit(main())
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/wireviz/wireviz.py", line 266, in main
parse(yaml_input, file_out=file_out)
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/wireviz/wireviz.py", line 188, in parse
harness.connect(from_name, from_pin, via_name, via_pin, to_name, to_pin)
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/wireviz/Harness.py", line 72, in connect
if via_wire in cable.colors and via_wire in cable.wirelabels:
TypeError: 'in <string>' requires string as left operand, not int
I've included my .yml file as a .txt so that Github would let me upload it. I'm sure I'm doing something silly, but for the life of me I can't figure it out. (Edited to replace file)
Versions: wireviz 0.3.2 dot - graphviz version 2.50.0 (20211204.2007) Python 3.9.9 Mac OS 12.1
Ah! I just figured it out: I used colors instead of color_code for a cable instance.
I've edited the title to change from bug report to feature request: this seems like the kind of syntax mistake that should throw an error with line number in the YML source, rather than falling through to a TypeError.
This is related to the general error message improvements discussed in #207.
