The change itself is technically fine, and I can see that this is an improvement for operators, but it could also add the improved error context without discarding the actual underlying error message. Is it really wise to discard the underlying error message or is it the case that it's okay to discard it because the underlying message is not and will never be of any actual use in daignosing the cause of the probelm?
The decoder does indeed not provide any useful information. This is a limitation of the current error handling model in both bcder and rpki-rs. It can (and should) be fixed at some point. This PR really only provides a work-around for showing |
New * Added support for private keys marked as “EC PRIVATE KEY“ in the PEM files for TLS server configuration. ([#921]) * The rsync collector now logs stderr output of the rsync command directly instead of collecting it and logging it in one go after the commend returned. ([#290]) Bug Fixes * The `dump` command will now succeed even if certain directories or files in the repository cache are missing. ([#916]) * A more meaningful message is now printed when decoding RPKI objects fails. It will still not give much detail but at least it isn’t confusing any more. ([#917]) Other changes * Updated the `nlnetlabs-testbed` TAL to the current location and key. ([#922])

This PR changes the error message printed when decoding any of the RPKI objects fails from whatever wondrous thing the decoder says to a generic message stating that decoding an object of a certain expected type failed. This PR is a port of #917, originally added to the 0.13 series.
