Feature Request - More detail in ITypeConverter

Open OpenSpacesAndPlaces opened this issue 7 years ago • 0 comments

Great work here!

Using FixedLengthFile/FixedLengthField.

Would be helpful if ITypeConverter instances had access things like:

  • Destination Object Type (not the property)
  • Line Number
  • Column Number

Right now I'm not seeing a way to provide the specific details about the exact thing causing the problem.

Within ITypeConverter I can only see something like:

  • String to Bool and the value was X

HandleEntryReadError:

  • This gets me the line text and the intentionally thrown error.

This feature request might just kind of be specific to FixedLengthFile with lots of fields - it sometimes can be a pain to figure out where the problem is when you have hundreds of characters of text smash, let alone provide a detailed/automatic report to a data source provider say via email.

Thanks for the help!
