--------------------------------------
I have requested to become a contributor and then plan to pick this task up.
My initial plan is to replace the subprocess.check_call() call in process.py
to instead use subprocess.check_output() and capture the error message from
the subprocess and incorporate it in the error. Super happy for any feedback :)
> Improve error handling at staging time time for DataflowRunner

> Project: Beam

> Components: sdk-py-core

> Priority: Minor
> Labels: starter, triaged

> dependency.py calls out to external process to collect dependencies:
> https://github.com/apache/beam/blob/de7cc05cc67d1aa6331cddc17c2e02ed0efbe37d/sdks/python/apache_beam/runners/dataflow/internal/dependency.py#L263
> If these calls fails, the error is not clear. The error only tells what
> failed but does not show the actual error message, and is not helpful for
> users.
> As a general fix processes.py should have general better output collection
> from failed processes.
