This is a valid issue in case of file transfers. Get File and Put File should probably fail if the source file does not exist. Which other error handling code do you think is missing? The execute command and write/read keywords can't really do any error handling.
Enabling paramiko logging is a good idea.
To change the type of issue, you can remove the Type-Defect label and insert Type-Enhancement instead.
When something goes wrong in the SSH session (as simple as telling it to copy a file that doesn't exist) there is no reporting and no crashing.
This makes it very hard to figure out what went wrong when a test failed, and in some cases even creates false positives.
Is there a plan to improve exception throwing and error reporting?
For one, I would advise enabling the paramiko log (or adding a keyword to enable it):
Above that, there are loads of error handling code that has to be written. You may assign it to me, but I would probably be very slow about it as I have many other roles at my company.
p.s. How do I mark an issue as "Enhancement"?
