cli v6.1.1 (nearly) silent on runtime failure

[sei-shissam]

Overview

v6.1.1 running on a linux kernel (< v5.12) which is out-of-date fails with ambiguous error.

How To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce this behavior:

1. From bash command line run uname -a and phylum --version
2. Confirm kernel is less than v5.12 and phylum cli is v6.1.1
3. Attempt to run phylum analyze --project myproject-latest go.sum
4. See Error: input/output error: Function not implemented (os error 38)

Expected Behavior

A more precise explanation of the error as seen by the phylum cli when run in debug being Error: unsupported operation, please ensure Kernel version is at least 5.12: Function not implemented (os error 38)

Additional Context

cli v6.1.1 silent on runtime failure

running phylum analyze after phylum update I got (Function not implemented)

$ phylum analyze --project myproject-latest go.sum
❗ Error: input/output error: Function not implemented (os error 38)

❗ Error: Could not parse dependency file "go.sum" as "auto" type

Caused by:
    Dependency file parsing failed

Downgrading to v5.9.0 does not exhibit this error.

Cloning/building v6.1.1 and running the same command reports:

~/src/phylum-cli/target/debug/phylum analyze --project myproject-latest-gosum go.sum
❗ Error: unsupported operation, please ensure Kernel version is at least 5.12: Function not implemented (os error 38)

❗ Error: Could not parse dependency file "go.sum" as "auto" type

Caused by:

Now I know the problem and what to do - it would be great if the release version of the cli would have this additional informaiton.

Thanks for the report.

The error message was improved in 9fdb5e9, which was not included in the v6.1.1 release. We will be releasing v6.1.2 shortly with this fix.

This issue was closed due to the linked PR closing...but the release is still building and should be available in about an hour or less.
