Daniel Belenky updated OVIRT-1689:

Epic Link: OVIRT-400

Improve error messages

     Key: OVIRT-1689
     URL: https://ovirt-jira.atlassian.net/browse/OVIRT-1689
 Project: oVirt - virtualization made easy
         Issue Type: Improvement
         Components: oVirt CI
Reporter: Daniel Belenky
Assignee: infra

• All references to things like ‘xdg-home’ need to be replaced with specifications of actual paths, as users are not expected to know what XDG is.

• Accurate indication of what is missing from which file and what can be done to fix it need to be given in all error messages.

• When variable/key names are given in error messages, they need to be quoted for clarity.

• Edge cases like for example an existing but empty secrets file and a missing ‘secrets_data’ key need to be handled better, with clear error messages

• Error message when a requested env var is missing needs to be improved to tell the user what to do. Current message can be very confusing when trying to use ‘mock_runner.sh’ for the ‘jenkins’ repo for example.
