Comment 1 Yaniv Kaul 2016-05-01 06:39:04 UTC

I think it's a rare enough occurrence (outside of testing environment) that I don't think it's worth the effort implementing this. I do agree that the generic exception could be improved to provide text with 'please verify the engine is running'.

Comment 2 Oved Ourfali 2017-05-15 12:19:00 UTC

I agree with Yaniv this is quite rare, and not straight forward.
Closing as wontfix.
