Feature request: Improve "Cannot preview the transformed code (no error message)" message #190

I frequently get this error when I want to preview a Metalama transformation, but when there's a compilation error in the project containing the aspect. It'd be nice if instead of reflecting that I cannot preview the code (which I already know when the preview doesn't open) it would instead suggest that perhaps there's a compilation error preventing the aspect from even being applied.

Thanks!

Thanks for reporting. This problem was already on our radar, but since it's just a somewhat confusing UX, it may take some time before it's fixed.
