ASCWriter not writing CAN Frames in Vector compatible format (and therefore ASCReader fails to read file back) about python-can HOT 3 CLOSED

Looks like the ASCWriter is mostly dumping the output of the Message.str() method in the .asc file,
which is not quite the format expected (as defined by the Vector document).

This is because you are not calling the right API

import can
can_msgs = [can.Message(timestamp=1714055256, arbitration_id=419377447, data=[0x12, 0xF3, 0x3b, 0x45, 0xcc, 0x6e])]
asc_writer = can.ASCWriter("dummy_data.asc")
for msg in can_msgs:
    asc_writer.on_message_received(msg)
    # or asc_writer(msg)
    
asc_writer.stop()

@pierreluctg just looked at the example and the code again, makes perfect sense.

Thanks for taking the time to reply and sorry for the silly question, I realize the proper operation of the reader/writers was duly tested, I just couldn't figure out my mistake.
