Catkin plugin: Confusing print when dependency is an invalid package
Metadata
Current evaluation
Closed without resolution. The confusing error message for invalid Catkin dependencies remains unaddressed.
Suggested action: —
No scores available.
Issue body
The Catkin plugin interrogates the source code being built for dependencies and fetches them. If those dependencies happen to resolve to a non-existing package, the error message simply prints the name of the package-- it doesn't actually say what the problem was.
