Jira (PUP-7792) argument type mismatch message could be clearer

[Henrik Lindberg (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Henrik Lindberg commented on PUP-7792   Re: argument type mismatch message could be clearer Looking at this again - I think the error message is missing one fundamental piece of information that leaves the reader guessing. It says: Error while evaluating a Function Call, 'lookup' expects one of: and goes on telling what the function expects and why what was given was rejected for each of the options. While those require some mental parsing to actually be helpful that is for the next level when you are trying to fix the problem. What the error should have indicated was that there was an attempt to call the function with arguments that did not match. A short term fix (ignoring that the rest of the message could be made more readable) is perhaps to start the error with: The function 'lookup' was called with arguments it does not accept. It expects one of: Is that more helpful? Does it point the user in the right direction? ping Adam Buxton Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.0.2#70111-sha1:88534db) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
