Escript creation failure reason swallowed by post-hook failure.
https://github.com/erlang/rebar3/blob/a16f41aef7f004394f761f1dae108231ca0ec76e/apps/rebar/src/rebar_prv_escriptize.erl#L99
This catch was introduced in https://github.com/erlang/rebar3/pull/2532 but there is still a problem: if the escript creation fails and the exception is caught, the call to rebar_hooks:run_all_hooks() below will be executed and will likely fail in itself since there will be no _build/prod/bin/rebar3 to copy. This will cause the first exception to be forgotten, and you simply get _build/prod/bin/rebar3: No such file or directory
and Hook for escriptize failed!
without a clue as to why. (The actual error was {bad_app, App}
just as added in #2532.)
Not sure what solution you would prefer, but skipping the post-hooks if creation fails seems reasonable to me.
I think this may be a duplicate of https://github.com/erlang/rebar3/issues/2798
