Error message for wrong required fields

[jvandaele]

Hello !

I recently got a problem while doing a test. Unfortunately, the error message was not very helpful :

Indeed, the error "Something went wrong: ." caused me trouble to identify correctly the issue.

After investigation, it seems that the issue was caused by a wrong identifier name, in my documentation it was defined by "listId", however, the name of my identifier in the test was "list". A simple issue, but yet difficult to find due to the error message given.

Is it possible to add a better error message when this case happen ? For example : "The given parameter 'wrongId' is not corresponding to the required parameters defined in the documentation : 'goodId', 'parameter2', 'myType'."

Thank you !

I do run into a similar issue today.

The name of my URI parameter in the path list was something like /my/path/{someId} while in my parameters, my parameter in the request description was name: {id}.

The problem was that the openApi definition was not good, and raven does not return a meaningful response:

Error: Something went wrong: .

The error message occurs in CHStudio\Raven\Validator\Exception\GenericException which is thrown during the map of a ValidationException.

If you dump $previous in GenericException, you could access to failed validation, and get more information. This could help you to debug your test, and this could be a good approach to improve the validation error handling.

Ok thank you for checking the issue more deeply and sorry for the wrong behavior here 😉.

Yes today the error messages are mostly returned by the validation library we rely on and if we can ensure better messages we must try to do it !
