Config item passed with float with decimal in an integer field errors out

[micahjohnson150]

• inicheck version: 0.7.9
• Python version: 3.6
• Operating System: Linux

Description

Working with timesteps in Swiflow and found that a float passed to an integer item in the config file did not throw an inicheck error but rather an exception. This defeat the purpose of inicheck as we want to know all the errors that exist with a config file.

What I Did

config file

################################################################################
# Model Parameters
################################################################################

[model]
timestep_hours:                0.1

Master config entry:

[model]

timestep_hours:
default = 24,
type = int,
description = Timestep to march through time in integer hours

Fails with:

swiflow config.ini

and even with inicheck

inicheck -m swiflow -f config.ini

Traceback is
