Merge lp:~benji/lazr.restful/bug-539070 into lp:lazr.restful

[Benji York]

Bug 539070 describes a case where an error message doesn't give much of a hint as to where to start looking for a problem. This branch enhances the error message with the interface in question so the developer knows where to look.

finish up reworking the error reporting

159. By Benji York on 2010-11-04

remove some dead code that snuck in

[Edwin Grubbs (edwin-grubbs)]

Hi Benji,

The changes you made look good for showing which interface attribute tries to set the schema to a class that doesn't have an IEntry adapter. I just have one comment below.

Can you remove this line that can never be reached?

review: Approve (code)

[Benji York (benji)]

I removed the dead code. Thanks.

[Jonathan Lange (jml)]

Thanks so much for working on this change Benji – it promises to save me much hair-pulling in the future.

Perhaps it would also be worth adding a similar try/except/whence thingummy around WadlTopLevelEntryLinkAPI.type_link? (pasted below for convenience)

class WadlTopLevelEntryLinkAPI(RESTUtilityBase):
    """Namespace for WADL functions that operate on top-level entry links."""

    def __init__(self, entry_link):
        self.entry_link = entry_link

    def type_link(self):
        return EntryAdapterUtility.forSchemaInterface(
            self.entry_link.entry_type,
            get_current_web_service_request()).type_link
