Improve error message when submitting a process #41

Open sphuber opened 1 year ago

sphuber commented 1 year ago

Currently when submitting a process and the inputs are incorrect (for example label is missing, which shouldn't really even be required), the error message is not very useful. We simply get a

422 Unprocessable Entity
{'detail': [{'loc': ['body', 'label'], 'msg': 'field required', 'type': 'value_error.missing'}]}

It should ideally tell what data is missing.

Turns out that the information is in the response, just hidden. In the example mentioned above, the label was missing. But maybe we can extract this from response['detail'][0]['loc'][-1] but not sure how fixed the format of this response is.

maybe a more generic printing of the detail field could do the trick?
