Question about NoIDDFieldsError when using eppy

asked 2019-08-12 04:56:53 -0600

Hello,

eppy.idfreader.NoIDDFieldsError: idfobject with key 'WINDOWSHADINGCONTROL' & first field 'Shading Control 1' has 169 fields while the idd for 'WINDOWSHADINGCONTROL' has only 26 fields. Add the following fields to the object 'WINDOWSHADINGCONTROL' in file Energy+.idd 'A24, A25, A26, A27, A28, A29, A30, A31, A32, A33, A34, A35, A36, A37, A38, A39, A40, A41, A42, A43, A44, A45, A46, A47, A48, A49, A50, A51, A52, A53, A54, A55, A56, A57, A58, A59, A60, A61, A62, A63, A64, A65, A66, A67, A68, A69, A70, A71, A72, A73, A74, A75, A76, A77, A78, A79, A80, A81, A82, A83, A84, A85, A86, A87, A88, A89, A90, A91, A92, A93, A94, A95, A96, A97, A98, A99, A100, A101, A102, A103, A104, A105, A106, A107, A108, A109, A110, A111, A112, A113, A114, A115, A116, A117, A118, A119, A120, A121, A122, A123, A124, A125, A126, A127, A128, A129, A130, A131, A132, A133, A134, A135, A136, A137, A138, A139, A140, A141, A142, A143, A144, A145, A146, A147, A148, A149, A150, A151, A152, A153, A154, A155, A156, A157, A158, A159, A160, A161, A162, A163, A164, A165, A166;'

You no longer have to add missing fields to the IDD file for eppy to work. Eppy release r0.5.60 (and later releases) will work without adding the mising fields. Eppy will add the missing fields as needed in memory.

Note that the IDD file on disk will not be modified by eppy. So this will not fix issue mentioned above
