Make Lighthouse error string more user friendly #3598
Comments
Looking at these, I'm thinking we might want to use a lot more space to appropriately explain each error. One slight modification is that we give each error an error code and then link up some docs. For example, in Alice's old a11y extension, she'd link to https://github.com/GoogleChrome/accessibility-developer-tools/wiki/Audit-Rules#ax_aria_02 for the explanation. Giving each error a code that's googleable is also the approach chrome security takes for all the various certificate/tls issues. So perhaps:

Lighthouse error strings are not very user friendly, especially for the timeout cases. Can we make it such that the error strings don't just dump out the debug string but tell users what they can do (if timeout, then tell them to try using the CLI and increase timeout, or if it's a tracing failure, then ask them to just rerun the trace).
