> Key: GEODE-2969
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-2969
> Project: Geode
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: logging
> Reporter: Patrick Rhomberg
>
> A number of contexts result in a less-than-meaningful message to log or
> console of simply `null`. For instance, running `gfsh status locator` prints
> only `null`.
> This may be the result of exceptions being converted to exceptions of another
> type or to error results, but in the process losing important information by
> only passing `e.getMessage()` to the new type. For instance, the above `gfsh
> status locator` is failing with a `java.lang.NumberFormatException: null`,
> but this exception is converted to `return
> ResultBuilder.createUserErrorResult(e.getMessage());` In this case,
> `e.getMessage()` is `null`, where the more meaningful result is the type of
> exception.
> A fix to this will likely close GEODE-2569
