Feature: More detailed error messages

[yardasol]

Background and motivation

There are several places in the SaltProc source code where try-except blocks are used to catch errors. In most of the except blocks a message prints instead of raising another exception.

Description of idea

Raising specific exceptions in the except blocks would give us more specific error messages. This is useful for debugging.

Implementation details

The following functions and locations in the code have try-catch blocks where no exceptions are raised:

• app.read_main_input
• DepcodeSerpent.create_iter_matfile
• DepcodeSerpent.switch_to_next_geometry
• Simulation.store_after_repr
• Simulation.store_mat_data
• Simulation.store_run_step_info
• Simulation.store_run_init_info
• Simulation.check_restart

Potential snags

This may require modifying unit/integration tests
