| Title | Server failures aren't handled gracefully |

| Description | If the Perforce server or the defect tracker is down, the replicator produces unhelpful error messages and e-mails to the administrator. |
| Analysis | The p4 module should look at the p4 command's stderr and exit code, if possible, and raise an error if the command failed. This must then be handled by the replicator.
Really the improvement of error messages and e-mails demands a better error infrastructure. At the moment errors are undifferentiated so you can't tell what happened or what is worth logging and/or reporting in e-mail. |
