New issue 1165 by pekka.klarck: Error message when creating log or report fails doesn't have enough information
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=1165

If writing log or report fails due to missing permissions or other file system related errors, Robot currently (2.7.3) provides this kind of error message:

Writing log file '/path/results/log.html' failed: No such file or directory

A problem is that the file that Robot failed to process may not be the actual log or report file, but instead e.g. a template file that is needed when generating the log/report file. This makes debugging problems harder and results to problems such as this one:
