---------------------------------------
Summary: Poor diagnostic: out of scope delimiter message - doesn't
give element name
Key: DAFFODIL-2345
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-2345
Project: Daffodil
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Back End, Diagnostics
Affects Versions: 2.6.0
Reporter: Mike Beckerle
Fix For: 3.0.0
When scanning for a separator and encountering an out-of-scope
separator/terminator, the diagnostic message is really poor.
It says what it found, that it was out-of-scope, but doesn't focus you on where
it was within the scope, by giving an element name, or line number in the
schema.
If you have a required element that is missing, so that the parser can't find
that element's separator and instead finds the enclosing separator/terminator,
the diagnostic message needs to include the required element that it did not
find a separator before, or the prior element it did not find the separator
after. One of the two. Or at least needs to point you at the sequence the two
elements are found in. But since that sequence could be spread over many lines,
it really does need to identify in terms of the term decl before and after
where the separator was not found.
