Uniformative runtime error(s)

[ktavabi]

I feel like we addressed these types of issue; and it seems like the error message(s) are rather unuseful, e.g., in this trace the file exists on the HD so what exactly is the problem?

It means the parent file has not been added/discovered to provenance yet

The ass file in this case

Excuse me, the what file? Are you not taking me seriously? 😂😂😂😂

Haha oops

[JasperVanDenBosch]

We could make the error about an unknown parent optional. Or check in the handler if the parent is known, and otherwise not specify a parent.

[ktavabi]

We could throw a warning the parent file is missing and search for it before stopping the process?

[JasperVanDenBosch]

Search for it automatically? Or prompt the user to search for it?

Is it common in menfun to skip the early pipeline steps?

[ktavabi]

And I could actually do that if I could actually understand what it is your doing in the code. Everything is constantly referring to something else!

[ktavabi]

I'd say so, the processes are linear.
