Description Stephen Gordon 2011-06-10 01:58:40 UTC 
Description of problem:

Tool gracefully ignores the fact that a topic could not be read (sometimes due to a validity issue) and keeps on retrieving subsequent topics:

[Fatal Error] :234:6: The element type "step" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</step>".
ERROR: Unable to load topic (http://topicrepo.englab.bne.redhat.com/TopicRepository/Tasks/IPA/Installing_the_IPA_Server.xml).
ERROR: Unable to parse 'Installation_Guide_Export/en-US/Infrastructure.xml'.

Ideally I think we want to allow this but keep track of which topics couldn't be read and display a list at the end of the run to highlight that it wasn't successful.

Committed revision 69970.
Comment 2 Stephen Gordon 2011-09-06 07:20:43 UTC 
In the end went with the simpler mechanism of just reporting the first failure encountered and then ending the export as failed.
