Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] Misleading error message when name is missing

Hi, [forwarding this here from RH bug #796732]

When creating a network (virsh net-create) with an erroneous XML containing an empty <name> element, the error message is misleading: error: Failed to create network from foo.xml error: missing domain name information It took me a bit of time to figure out that it was the *network* name that was missing (I generate this xml and didn't look at it, first). I realized that the same message is used for missing name when creating a domain, network, or device node. Attached patch (warning: against a completly different git than yours, don't pay attention to wrong shas) thus make this message more generic.
