Title: Message Title

Keith Zantow created an issue   Jenkins / JENKINS-40793 Make errors more easily 'machine parseable' Issue Type: Improvement Assignee: Andrew Bayer Components: blueocean-pipeline-editor-plugin, pipeline-model-definition-plugin Created: 2017/Jan/04 1:56 AM Priority: Major Reporter: Keith Zantow Currently errors from pipeline JSON to PMD are returned in a textual way that makes it awkward for tools to consume them and display appropriate contextual errors, for example: At /pipeline/stages/1/branches/0/steps: Array has 0 entries, requires minimum of 1 It would be helpful if these errors were split somehow into a location and message, e.g.: { location: '/pipeline/stages/1/branches/0/steps', message: 'Array has 0 entries, requires minimum of 1' } or even: { location: [ 'pipeline', 'stages', 1, 'branches', 0, 'steps' ], code: 'EMPTY_ARRAY_NOT_ALLOWED', message: 'Array has 0 entries, requires minimum of 1' } Or maybe something different. This would make it easier for tools to consume without having to parse a potentially volatile (and localized) text format.
