It boils down, that we are approaching feature equality between netcdf4-python and h5netcdf. It seems, that only reference objects can't be handled by netcdf-c.

Todo: check boolean enums

What does auto_complex = None mean? Is it the same as auto_complex = False?
EDIT: Ah, to avoid passing the argument to h5netcdf? But invalid_netcdf is just a plain bool, so is that handled differently for netCDF4?
Should we also consider defaulting to True? I'm definitely interested in finding out if there are any cases where this results in unwanted behaviour

Yeah, not sure, if I handled that correctly. It's more or less a security measure against feeding the kwarg to versions which can't handle those yet. I think this was the simplest solution without adding a whole bunch of boilerplate code. But maybe there is an easier solution to that.

Thanks @ZedThree for taking the time to review. I've added couple of comments. |

@pydata/xarray This seems to be ready now for review. This brings in adaptions for changes ongoing in h5netcdf/netcdf4-python wrt complex numbers and enums. |

LGTM, thanks @kmuehlbauer!
I do think it would be clearer with having auto_complex just be bool (I don't think allowing it to be None gets us anything over setting it False by default), and with a check that when setting it we are using the netcdf4 engine, but that's a minor quibble.

Upstream and upstream mypy failures are unrelated. I'm going to merge this the next day. |
