Error message about "missing action" need to be improved

[freewind]

In my template, I have this code:

<a href="@{Pages.xxx}">Edit</a>

which "Pages.xxx" in not existed. When I refresh the browser, it will report this error message:

 Execution exception

        RuntimeException occured : error in running the renderer: No route found  In /app/controllers/Pages.java (around line 39)

35: }
36:
37: public static void show(Long id) {
38: Page page = Page.findById(id);
39:     renderJapid(page);
40:     }
41: }

But from the message, I can't find any information about the "Pages.xxx", it's not easy to look for it in the template.

I think it's better to provide the action name and the line number of template in the error message.

Can you explain how you would invoke a missing action in the templates?

If I invoked an missing action in the template, the error message will be:

Execution exception

RuntimeException occured : error in running the renderer: No route found In /app/controllers/Pages.java (around line 39)

35: } 36: 37: public static void show(Long id) { 38: Page page = Page.findById(id); 39: renderJapid(page); 40: } 41: }

But from the message, I don't know which one is missing, it's not easy to look for it in the template.

I think it's better to provide the action name and the line number of template in the error message.

I just updated the issue, make it clearer.

the new version, 0.8.9.8, has a better error message. still not ideal, since it shows the lines in the generated Java code, instead of the original template file.

0.8.10 has enhanced template runtime errors quite a bit. The error is mapped to the original template. A lot informative. All templates must be recompiled with japid:regen
