Bug #9660
closedTechnique errors only show up in webapp log
Description
Hi,
When developing techniques, and you have an issue, it would help if it would be displayed somewhere in the webapp, as currently the only place you can retrieve it is the webapp log, like for example:
[2016-11-10 13:26:36] ERROR com.normation.cfclerk.services.impl.GitTechniqueReader - Ignoring technique '/Custom/timeSettings/1.0/metadata.xml' because the descriptor file is malformed. \ Error message was: Unexpected issue with the descriptor file /Custom/timeSettings/1.0/metadata.xml at line 35, column 7: \ The element type "SECTIONS" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</SECTIONS>".

Now, technique are mostly "developped" with the technique editor, or in a near future with rudder lang. In both cases, errors are reported where the user is working (ie in the technique editor, or in rudderc output).
For that one, we don't have an obvious place to report the error to user appart in the log (in UI, in a place like an "admin message console" would make sense, but we don't have that).
So I'm closing that one since it's unlikely that we will find a better way to report these errors, and that kind of technique dev should be less and less common.
If you don't agree with the closing, please let us know, or reopen it.
