Fix issue with Database class #276

@ckendrick can you please provide an example test that demonstrates the issue? |

I think this change is already made at #274 . I'm open to @dylan-copeland 's suggestion.

It looks like the goal of this test is just to run without failing? There is nothing checked, like in test_Matrix.cpp where EXPECT* functions are called. Is this the intention?

Yes this test was added to the CI only intending to be a quick check if an error occurred with endSamples()/writeSnapshot(). The issue that caused this problem has since been fixed, but the only test I could find that uses these functions is in test_HDFDatabase.cpp which is restricted to parallel HDF5 builds only.
In the future, we should provide a serial test in test_HDFDatabase.cpp and remove this test (and other outdated/unused tests).
This adds a return statement to the base Database functions
open()andcreate(). Without these, calls toendSamples()andwriteSnapshot()would hang indefinitely printing newlines to screen.This also adds a test to the CI that calls
writeSnapshot()to catch this behavior in the future.
