Bad developer experience when debugging custom checks
Bad developer experience when debugging custom checks.
If there is a code error/exception raised in a custom check, it would be nice if execution was stopped and the error was printed, because currently Frictionless seems to "eat" the error/exception details when executing tasks, making it very hard to debug.
Here is an example of the report returned by the validate function, when there is a code error in one of my custom checks.
{'errors': [{'code': 'task-error',
'description': 'General task-level error.',
'message': "The task has an error: 'NoneType' object is not "
'iterable',
'name': 'Task Error',
'note': "'NoneType' object is not iterable",
'tags': []}]
'stats': {'errors': 1, 'tasks': 0},
'tasks': [],
'time': 2.141,
'valid': False,
'version': '4.40.8'}
it would be nice if Frictionless didn't "eat" exceptions, so I actually can see where the error originated from.
In this case I ended up rewriting my whole custom check, because I couldn't find the line, that was causing the issue.
Version: frictionless==4.40.8
Thanks, @ipimpat! We will work on a better debug workflow
