Subject: Re: [PATCH 0/2] qapi/qom: use correct field name when getting/setting alias properties
Date: Thu, 22 Jul 2021 15:25:53 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87o8auh44e.fsf@dusky.pond.sub.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210719104033.185109-1-pbonzini@redhat.com> (Paolo Bonzini's message of "Mon, 19 Jul 2021 12:40:31 +0200")

Since patch submitters tend to submit code that works for the success
case, I like to test a few failure cases before anything else.  Gotcha:

    $ qemu-system-x86_64 -machine pc,pflash0=xxx qemu-system-x86_64:
    Property 'cfi.pflash01.drive' can't find value 'xxx'

The error message is misleading.

This is not a "must not commit" issue.  Fixing a regression in time for
the release at the price of a bad error message is still a win.  The bad
error message needs fixing all the same, just not necessarily before the
release.

Since mere thinking doesn't rock the release boat: any ideas on how this
could be fixed?
