[Feature] Post-GSoC ’24: Expand Error + Exception Handling #128

Open naishasinha opened 3 months ago

naishasinha commented 3 months ago

Context

Automating Quantifying the Commons was a project endeavor for the Google Summer of Code 2024 program, in which a baseline automation software for data gathering, processing, and analysis was successfully developed. However given the time and resource constraints that we had to consider, there are still addressable endeavors to improve this codebase over the upcoming quarters and years. This is the fifth (5) of five (5) issues raised specifically for post-GSoC contributions.

Problem

The current custom error and exception handling in the codebase — although customized specifically for the Quantifying codebase — is at a minimal stage, with basic messages that can be improved to ease the development process.

Description

This feature involves expanding the current error and exception handling mechanisms, adding more informative and detailed messages. This will make it easier to debug issues and improve the overall reliability of the system.
