jhg03a opened a new issue #3090: Improve error reporting in API
URL: https://github.com/apache/trafficcontrol/issues/3090
 
 
   Some of our API endpoints handle database errors better than others.  We 
should be more consistent in this.  This is not a complete audit, but just a 
sample I've run across.
   
   Example:
   Most common working case:
   POST /api/1.3/divisions/kabletown/regions twice
   Response code 400
   ```
   "alerts": [
     {
       "level": "error",
       "text": "region[kabletown] already exists."
     }
   ]
   ```
   
   Inconsistent working case:
   POST /api/1.3/users twice
   Response code 400
   ```
   "alerts": [
     {
       "level": "error",
       "text": "email is already taken"
     },
     {
       "level": "error",
       "text": "username is already taken"
     }
   ]
   ```
   
   Suboptimal case:
   POST /api/1.3/cachegroups twice
   Response code 500
   ```
   {
     "alerts": [
       {
         "level": "error",
         "text": "Internal Server Error"
       }
     ]
   }
   ```
