User Failure Messages

Toolkit writers can create parameterized and localized failure message to present to the user.

Define User Messages for each Locale

The example below creates two different messages. The first ("hello") has no parameters and the second ("bye") has one parameter. We are going to create two locales for these two messages: en-us (english US) and es-US (spanish US).

cd <toolkit-directory>
mkdir messages
touch messages/en-us.txt
cat > messages/en-us.txt <<EOF
hello=Hello
bye=Bye {0}
EOF
touch messages/es-us.txt
cat > messages/es-us.txt <<EOF
hello=Hola
bye=Adios {0}
EOF

Now that we have these messages, we can then use them in a lua script as follows:

if x == true then
	Fail(messages.hello())
else
	Fail(messages.bye("Delphix"))
end
