Jira (PUP-5723) Poor error reporting when metadata.json is incorrect or incomplete

[Gerhardus Geldenhuis (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Gerhardus Geldenhuis commented on PUP-5723   Re: Poor error reporting when metadata.json is incorrect or incomplete Henrik Lindberg I were wrong, the error message is surfaced: Eg: Error: No author module metadata provided for testmodule I would however suggest a slightly different format to improve the readability: Error: metadata.json is missing "author" for testmodule I also get: Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Function Call, Could not find class ::testmodule for ubuntu.localdomain at line 1:1 on node ubuntu.localdomain which is probably what threw me first. That error seems plain wrong. To reproduce you can create a empty module and malform the metadata.json file by removing source or some other parameter.
