codeBehindMe opened a new pull request #11976: URL: https://github.com/apache/beam/pull/11976
Previously, when a mismatch of the dimensions emitted by the DoFn and the dimensions emitted by the ParDo was encountered, a less than helpful message of `expected 1 output. Found: []` was returned. This caused some confusion especially when paired with ParDo and ParDo0 which may be counterintuitive arrangement to most. In this patch, we provide a more helpful error message which correctly reference the DoFn which has the misalignment and the ParDo which the misalignment of dimensions were captured by. It also recommends a ParDo function which may be used by the DoFn in question. We introduce two new functions to the pardo package as well as a new function to the reflectx package to help us construct this error message. ------------------------ Thank you for your contribution!
