Chore: Better error messages on download of archetype. #13

Open ryan-roemer opened 8 years ago

ryan-roemer commented 8 years ago

In downloading / extracting an archetype, we go through creating a temp directory, a process spawn (npm pack), ungzip, untarring to the temp directory and walking that file path. There's a lot that can go wrong with very terse / hard-to-understand error messages.

Task:

[ ] Review and add error wrappers to make captured errors much more accesible.
[ ] Add information to error about where things went wrong.

Scenarios:

[x] Archetype doesn't have init.js
[x] Archetype doesn't have init/

Some of this (like npm pack process errors) is better now. Probably just a simple edit + looking at code coverage report of error paths not handled in tests / messages asserted.
