Improve Error Message For NTIA Relationships Check
Introduction
The NTIA relationships check is a crucial component of the CLI, ensuring that the necessary relationships are in place for a successful deployment. However, the current implementation of this check as a top-level check has a significant drawback - it prevents the CLI from providing detailed information about which packages failed the check. In this article, we will explore the benefits of making the NTIA relationships check a package-level check and provide a plan for improving the error message to provide more valuable information to users.
Current Implementation
Currently, the NTIA relationships check is a top-level check, which means that it is performed at the root level of the CLI. While this approach has its advantages, it also has a significant limitation - it prevents the CLI from providing detailed information about which packages failed the check. This can make it difficult for users to diagnose and resolve issues related to the NTIA relationships check.
Benefits of Package-Level Check
Making the NTIA relationships check a package-level check would have several benefits. Firstly, it would enable the CLI to provide detailed information about which packages failed the check, making it easier for users to diagnose and resolve issues. Secondly, it would allow the CLI to perform the check in parallel, reducing the overall time it takes to complete the check. Finally, it would provide a more granular and flexible way of performing the check, allowing users to customize the check to their specific needs.
Improving Error Message
To improve the error message for the NTIA relationships check, we need to make the following changes:
- Provide detailed information about failed packages: The CLI should provide detailed information about which packages failed the check, including the specific error messages and any relevant logs.
- Use a more user-friendly format: The error message should be presented in a more user-friendly format, making it easier for users to understand and diagnose issues.
- Include relevant logs and debug information: The CLI should include relevant logs and debug information to help users diagnose and resolve issues.
Proposed Solution
To implement the proposed solution, we will make the following changes:
- Modify the CLI to perform the check at the package level: We will modify the CLI to perform the NTIA relationships check at the package level, allowing it to provide detailed information about which packages failed the check.
- Implement a more user-friendly error message format: We will implement a more user-friendly error message format, making it easier for users to understand and diagnose issues.
- Include relevant logs and debug information: We will include relevant logs and debug information to help users diagnose and resolve issues.
Implementation Plan
To implement the proposed solution, we will follow the following steps:
- Modify the CLI to perform the check at the package level: We will modify the CLI to perform the NTIA relationships check at the package level, allowing it to provide detailed information about which packages failed the check.
- Implement a more user-friendly error message format: We will implement a more user-friendly error message format, making it easier for users to understand and diagnose issues.
- Include relevant logs and debug information: We will include relevant logs and debug information to help users diagnose and resolve issues.
- Test the implementation: We will test the implementation to ensure that it meets the requirements and provides the desired functionality.
- Deploy the implementation: We will deploy the implementation to the production environment, making it available to users.
Conclusion
In conclusion, making the NTIA relationships check a package-level check would have several benefits, including providing detailed information about which packages failed the check, allowing the CLI to perform the check in parallel, and providing a more granular and flexible way of performing the check. To implement this solution, we will modify the CLI to perform the check at the package level, implement a more user-friendly error message format, and include relevant logs and debug information. We will follow a structured implementation plan to ensure that the solution meets the requirements and provides the desired functionality.
Future Work
Future work on this project may include:
- Improving the error message format: We may improve the error message format to make it even more user-friendly and provide more detailed information about failed packages.
- Adding more features to the CLI: We may add more features to the CLI, such as the ability to customize the check or provide more detailed information about the check results.
- Integrating with other tools: We may integrate the CLI with other tools, such as continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, to provide a more seamless and automated experience for users.

Improve Error Message for NTIA Relationships Check: Q&A =====================================================
Introduction
In our previous article, we discussed the benefits of making the NTIA relationships check a package-level check and proposed a solution to improve the error message. In this article, we will answer some frequently asked questions (FAQs) about the proposed solution and provide additional information to help users understand the implementation.
Q&A
Q: Why is the NTIA relationships check currently a top-level check?
A: The NTIA relationships check is currently a top-level check because it was designed to be a simple and straightforward check that can be performed at the root level of the CLI. However, this approach has a significant limitation - it prevents the CLI from providing detailed information about which packages failed the check.
Q: What are the benefits of making the NTIA relationships check a package-level check?
A: Making the NTIA relationships check a package-level check would have several benefits, including:
- Providing detailed information about which packages failed the check
- Allowing the CLI to perform the check in parallel
- Providing a more granular and flexible way of performing the check
Q: How will the CLI provide detailed information about failed packages?
A: The CLI will provide detailed information about failed packages by including the specific error messages and any relevant logs in the error message. This will make it easier for users to diagnose and resolve issues related to the NTIA relationships check.
Q: Will the error message format be changed?
A: Yes, the error message format will be changed to make it more user-friendly and provide more detailed information about failed packages. The new format will include relevant logs and debug information to help users diagnose and resolve issues.
Q: How will the CLI include relevant logs and debug information?
A: The CLI will include relevant logs and debug information by including them in the error message. This will provide users with more detailed information about the check results and help them diagnose and resolve issues.
Q: What is the implementation plan for the proposed solution?
A: The implementation plan for the proposed solution includes the following steps:
- Modifying the CLI to perform the check at the package level
- Implementing a more user-friendly error message format
- Including relevant logs and debug information
- Testing the implementation
- Deploying the implementation to the production environment
Q: When will the implementation be deployed to the production environment?
A: The implementation will be deployed to the production environment as soon as it is tested and validated. We will provide a timeline for the deployment in the implementation plan.
Q: What is the expected outcome of the implementation?
A: The expected outcome of the implementation is to provide a more user-friendly and informative error message for the NTIA relationships check. This will make it easier for users to diagnose and resolve issues related to the check.
Conclusion
In conclusion, making the NTIA relationships check a package-level check would have several benefits, including providing detailed information about which packages failed the check, allowing the CLI to perform the check in parallel, and providing a more granular and flexible way of performing the check.
