Description

Currently when dealing with dozens or hundreds of patterns, its impossible to figure out which pattern causes the issue when something fails, for example like this:

![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/7070631/92244034-49efc700-eeba-11ea-8c73-05c56740df9f.png)

The only thing I can do is binary search (deleting patterns until I find the one causing the issue), but that costs a lot of time. Can we, in batch mode, catch any exceptions and inform the user which pattern is at fault?

Research direction

Start by locating the batch-mode entry point and the code that processes each pattern. Trace how failures are currently reported, then verify that a failing batch identifies the pattern responsible and that other error details remain available.
