Just dropping this here as general feedback if any one feels like picking it up (given they agree with me) This error message is phrased in such a way that it is easy to misinterpret, where the subject and adjective(?) are too disconnected:

ResolveError: The address src/python/proj/app/lib:lib from the `dependencies` field of the target src/python/proj/app/name/__init__.py does not exist.

i.e. what is it that does not exist.. ? you almost have to read the sentence at least a few times to be sure that it is the

app/lib:lib

address, not the

name/__init__.py

file that is missing (at least for me, when English isn’t my first language)

I think brackets around the address and target would actually go a long way. "The address (...) from the 'dependencies' field of the target (...) does not exist"

Exactly, when you reduce the text down it becomes clearer, but the “does not exist” is too far away and disconnects from the subject it refers back to. So having “is missing” right next to it would improve it quite a bit, imho. 👍 🙂

Yeah, feels like a subject-verb-object mismatch

This is good feedback.
