            Bug ID: 159903
           Summary: EWS error message "Error: * did not process patch." is
                    confusing
    Classification: Unclassified

           Version: WebKit Local Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal

The ews error message is "Error: * did not process patch." is confusing/misleading. It gives no information about why the queue did not process patch, no information about location of the logs.

What actually happens, is that the patch fails validation. We should improve the error message to make it more readable/meaningful.. something like “Patch fails validation”.

Also, if possible we should add more information to this error message indicating why the patch failed validation.
