Improved Error Message (Issue #949) #1001

Closed Coreastreet closed 3 months ago

Coreastreet commented 1 year ago

Hi hex maintainers,

This pull request is intended to added Issue #949 for hexpm/hex.

Basically, my changes to hex.publish under tasks directory make a call to hexpm's API to check whether a package with the same name exists and if so, create another matching condition which returns a more informative error in the format: "Package with the name 'foobar' has already exists".

I have successfully tested the code with two identical packages with the only difference being the package name (jason vs new_jason)

However, I have not tested the code with packages publishing under an organization or repository. In which case, the code may simply return the standard error I think.
