Pull request overview
This PR improves CLI error reporting when a local package store cannot be located, by capturing and displaying the directory candidates that were searched. This makes failures in bolt push, bolt fetch, and bolt make --install more actionable for users.
Changes:
- Extend
PackageStore.find()to optionally record each candidatebolts/directory it checks while walking up the filesystem. - Improve
bolt fetchandbolt make --installerrors to include the searched paths when the store is missing. - Improve
bolt pusherrors to additionally report store search paths when the package name lookup requires a store but none is found.
