[Swift-user] Problem in error handling for localhost jobs with status.mode=provider

[Michael Wilde]

When running a job on localhost with status.mode=provider set in 
swift.properties, missing-output-file error messages are lost.

You can replicate this error with this this script:

--

login2$ cat missingresult.swift
type file;

app (file f) echo()
{
   echo "foo";
}

file f<"missing.txt">;

f = echo();

--

With status.mode not set, you get the expected error message, "The 
following output files were not created by the application: missing.txt" 
but with it set to "provider" you only get "Job failed with an exit code 
of 254": (note that Ive got a bunch of debug messages below in _swiftwrap)

login2$ swift -config props  missingresult.swift
Swift svn swift-r3202 cog-r2683
