hi, I was wondering how to see the method selected when reading generic datasets. thx for any pointers

Hi <@U06KX7HN77E> - I’ll answer on the issue!

ok so after copying generic_dataset.py to a locally available path and changing the classpath in the catalog, I should be able to access the actual loader...

yes it’s a super easy way to confirm how it works

but my current understanding is that it should be functioning correctly? does it not provide you a dataframe?

yes, it is most definitely a read_fwf. But I think your suggestion of having a log info message makes a lot of sense

not always easy perhaps for users to know how their data is actually being read

it is basically doing behind the scenes (with somethings like read_clipboard blocked)

`get_attr(pd, "read_fwf")`

so if the string is correct it should work
