Improve error messages #39

Open nickhaf opened 1 month ago

The checkmate assertions are not very informative for end users.

Example: updateRecodeDB() throws an error, if columns in the database are not named correctly. However, the error message is not too easy to understand for end users. @grewered could you look into it, and let checkmate throw a clearer error message in that case, something like "please make sure the columns in your database are named oldValues and newValues (in each sheet if you have an excel file)" or something similar?

I can have a look at that. It might work with assert_subset(), but I'm not sure about custom error messages. But I think that was possible.
