[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Import Error Message Suggestion

[Steven Majewski]

… or if not the line number, at least the enclosing element or some context to indicate where the missing item is missing from. 

We’re getting lots of errors ( on validated EAD) like:

Error: #<:ValidationException: {:errors=>{"dates"=>["one or more required (or enter a Title)"], "title"=>["must not be an empty string (or enter a Date)"]}}>

It seems to be saying it’s expecting a date or title somewhere but it doesn’t indicate where. 


( If it’s difficult to get this context info on import, an acceptable alternative would be to provide 
a tighter version of the EAD schema that more closely corresponds to what the ArchivesSpace
importer accepts.  )

I understand what it means, but finding the single incorrectly typed normalized date in the container list of a long finding aid is nearly impossible.  If error messages could include which line in the finding aid caused them to fail to import, it would be an enormous help.
