Description
The XML parser in cf-clerk does not always display the right error message when a metadata.xml is malformed. In my case, I had an useless tag </INPUTS> in the metadata.xml and the message error was:
11:35:47.586 [qtp760805843-117] ERROR com.normation.cfclerk.services.impl.GitTechniqueReader - Ignoring technique '/applications/[...]/2.0/metadata.xml' because the descriptor file is malformed. Error message was: Unexpected issue with the descriptor file /applications/[...]/2.0/metadata.xml: The element type "SECTION" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</SECTION>".
- Target version changed from 2.4.7 to 2.4.8
I'm looking for a way to have proper error messages
Not sure i'll be able to
I can't do much more than listing the line and column error line, for the error message comes from the internal XML parser
the new error message is
ERROR com.normation.cfclerk.services.impl.GitTechniqueReader - Ignoring technique '/applications/apacheNegociationSSL/1.1/metadata.xml' because the descriptor file is malformed. Error message was: Unexpected issue with the descriptor file /applications/apacheNegociationSSL/1.1/metadata.xml at line 59, column 7: The element type "SECTION" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</SECTION>"
