[mapserver-dev] Skip failures when drawing a map

[Lime, Steve D (MNIT)]

We used to have a compile time option (oddly enough) to skip missing data errors and keep processing. So yes, I think it’s reasonable.

I assume failing is generally an issue with msLayerOpen() although other errors (e.g. missing columns, etc…) can happen too.  At first glance I’d think this would be a layer level configuration (perhaps a processing directive) since you’d likely be tolerant of stuff breaking in some cases but not others.

Hi Devs,

Would that be a reasonable option to skip layers which are failing to draw and don't abort the entire drawing session?
If yes, should that be a per-layer or per-map setting?

Best regards,

Tamas
