Does ESMValTool have a general principle on whether it should fail or warn when inputs are missing? #2435

A question was asked during review of the radiation budget PR (#2282): does ESMValTool have a general principle on whether it should fail or warn when inputs are missing? In the case of our PR, we are extracting cubes from a cubelist. If one is missing, should the code fail? Or should the code warn, then attempt to produce the plots with whatever data are available? Is there any documentation available regarding this? |

There is no guideline available, just use common sense: if the results are still scientifically meaningful with some missing data a warning might be sufficient, if not, raise an error. |
