get_idn should not throw for virtual instruments

astafan8 opened this issue · comments

Virtual instruments should either override get_idn to not fail and respond with something useful, or we should rework this so get_idn is not implemented like this for the generic class.

the reason for the failure is that get_idn calls .ask which is not implemented for virtual instruments.

An example of this issue is in #4590
