<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>> From: mbooth@redhat.com<br><div>> To: openstack-dev@lists.openstack.org<br>> Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2015 10:41:47 +0100<br>> Subject: [openstack-dev] [nova] Fine-grained error reporting via the external API<br>> <br>> However, all I have is that I made a BadRequest. I could potentially<br>> grep the human readable error message, but the text of that message<br>> doesn't form part of the API, and it may be translated in any case. As<br>> an API consumer, it seems I can't really tell anything other than 'it<br>> didn't work'. More than that requires guesswork, heuristics and inference.<br>> <br>> I don't think I've missed some source of additional wisdom, but it would<br>> obviously be great if I have. Has there ever been any effort to define<br>> some contract around more fine-grained error reporting?<br><br>Matt, iiuc this has been discussed early [1]. There is a review [2] mentioned at the end of that thread.<br><br>[1] http://markmail.org/message/6l6szrm6ox7w2cxk<br>[2] https://review.openstack.org/#/c/167793/<br></div> </div></body>
