Richard S. Hall commented on FELIX-2459: ---------------------------------------- Thanks for the very detailed explanation. Is your bundle reasonably self contained so that you could attach it as an example? Or does it have lots of dependencies that would make it difficult to recreate the situation? You raise a very valid point and we should look into seeing if there is a way to improve how we report such errors. It is difficult when resolving bundle dependencies because the resolver algorithm discovers many errors and it doesn't necessarily have a way of knowing which error is the most important or the "root" error. If you could make a reproducible scenario, it would give us a better idea if we were missing something obvious. At a minimum, we could log intermediate errors (although I'd worry about logging too much). Regardless, we can try to look into improving the situation. > Wrong error message on a missing package > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: FELIX-2459 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-2459 > Project: Felix > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Framework > Affects Versions: framework-3.0.1 > Reporter: Florent BENOIT > Fix For: framework-3.2.0 > > > Hi, > Here is the case : > I have one bundle with a missing import, I need to fix the bundle but Felix > 3.0.1 is not helping me with the errors that are thrown.
