See related Jira issue: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CSV-310 When we try to print CSV content using the `CSVFormat` and `CSVPrinter`, we can ger it done with following sample code. ``` public void testHappyPath() throws IOException { CSVFormat csvFormat = CSVFormat.DEFAULT.builder() .setHeader("Col1", "Col2", "Col3", "Col4") .setQuoteMode(QuoteMode.NONE) .setEscape('#') .build(); CSVPrinter printer = new CSVPrinter(System.out, csvFormat); List<String[]> temp = new ArrayList<>(); temp.add(new String[] { "rec1", "rec2\"", "", "rec4" }); temp.add(new String[] { "", "rec6", "rec7", "rec8" }); for (String[] temp1 : temp) { printer.printRecord(temp1); } printer.close(); } ``` In above sample I have used `setQuoteMode(QuoteMode.NONE)`. However, if we do not set the escape character using `setEscape('#')` then it would result in following exception. `java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No quotes mode set but no escape character is set.` At first, I was wondering why I was getting this error. Then I looked into the source and figured out that `CSVFormat.printWithEscapes()` method internally using `getEscapeCharacter().charValue()` method to print records. However, the error message which we are getting is sort of misleading. It implies that the code has not set any quote mode even though we set it. Simple and more meaningful exception message could be: `Quote mode set to NONE but no escape character is set`. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
