Description

  • We create cf entities in many places (route, org, space, app, etc)
  • At the moment we don't, or show vague, error messages
  • In a lot of cases we could probably just show the 'description' from the cf response (need to either get this from changing requests to passthrough or improving jetstream response...)

A few specific instances...
Create Route (in create app modal)

  • Need to show specific error message from description
    Create App
  • If either create app, route or bind(?) fail we don't get any feedback.
  • Feedback is specifically important for route creation (for instance The host is taken: <x>")

Research direction

Start by tracing entity creation from the create app modal and the route, org, space, and app flows. Inspect how create, bind, and Jetstream responses are currently surfaced, including whether passthrough is available. Done means failures show the Cloud Foundry description, including route errors, and create-app failures provide feedback to the user.
