Incorrectbillnumerrormsg #15

Closed jeremybmerrill closed 11 years ago

to fix #13.

Console.log a more helpful msg when the updated_time can't be gotten from OpenStates, most likely because the bill number is incorrectly formatted (see #13) for examples.

So, this is good, except that console is not available in all browsers (cough IE). There are two way sof going about this:

  1. We can throw an error with throw "blah", though this will be pretty harsh and may break the whole app.
  2. Or we can wrap console.log into a LT.log function that first checks if it exists.
