Michael Beckerle commented on DAFFODIL-1200:
--------------------------------------------
These long URLs also create possible false-positive situations where a negative
test looking for a keyword in the diagnostic message may match part of a
directory or file name in the URL, even when the expected message is NOT
received.
> Really long path names in diagnostic messages make them hard to read

> Key: DAFFODIL-1200
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-1200
> Project: Daffodil
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Diagnostics, Usability
> Affects Versions: s15
> Reporter: Michael Beckerle
> Priority: Minor
>
> Giant long file paths like
> file:/home/mbeckerle/dataiti/git/daffodil/eclipse-projects/target/test/edu/illinois/ncsa/daffodil/section06/namespaces.tdml
> These clutter the error messages, and all but the section06/namespaces.tdml
> are noise.
> Almost nothing can be viewed without scrolling the window/panel to the right
> so as to get past these giant paths. Or alternatively they wrap around line
> after line.
> Any given path being displayed can have whatever the longest prefix of it
> that matches a location on the classpath, that longest prefix can be removed
> without _much_ loss of information content.
