[Swift-devel] Re: [Bug 183] Print better error message when app executable is not found

[Jonathan Monette]

In ~jonmon/test there is a script that reproduces this error I believe.  The executable it is trying to use is in ~jonmon.  The tc.data file points to ~jonmon/Library/hello.sh  You should be able to run the script there in the directory.  If not you can copy the files to yours and try it.

The application I was trying to run was in my home directory, but I was logged in under a username so the path did not exist. The error message I got was too vague to understand why my script failed - it was just something like "Job failed with an exit code of 254". It didn't say which job, or what that meant. I thought it was something related to the scheduler I was trying to use. I have only tested this with 0.92.1. I did not try it on trunk, so maybe this has already been fixed. I will try it again today to see if I can reproduce it.
