Description

The API is currently responding with a very generic message when packages fail to be distributed.

{
  "message": "an unexpected error has occurred"
}

 

This should be improved since there are some errors that are due to bad usage, eg: packages that are too big, and we should to provide more context to the client:

 

{
  "message": "an unexpected error has occurred",
  "details": "Failed to create content package for requestType=ADD, paths=[/content]. Error=Can't distribute package with size greater than 1 Byte, actual 4053"
}
