assertion error

[rpodgorny]

hi, i'm trying to write a dbf file (from another dbf) and i keep failing with the following traceback:

thread 'main' panicked at 'assertion failed: `(left == right)`

(...it goes on but that's not interesting, i guess)

the code is basically this:

let mut reader = dbase::Reader::from_path(db_fn).unwrap();                                                                                             
let mut recs = reader.read().unwrap();                                                                      
let mut writer = dbase::TableWriterBuilder::from_reader(reader).build_with_file_dest("/tmp/test.dbf").unwrap();
writer.write_records(&recs).unwrap();

...what could be the cause?

thanks!

Seems like its this debug_assert that is being hit

dbase-rs/src/writing.rs

Line 365 in b731e63

debug_assert_eq!(self.buffer.position(), field_info.field_length as u64);

Since its a debug assert it should not be possible to trigger it in release mode (cargo run --release), can you try to run your program in release mode and see if the generated file is still valid ?

The assert seems a bit restrictive, what you may see in the output file is some truncated values
