Related issues

• Server.path + F5 on login page #5902: Although this issue focuses on configuration and subpath handling with Authelia and Traefik, the improved error messaging might not directly address the specific objectives outlined, such as handling trailing slashes or 301 redirects. However, better error messages could indirectly assist in debugging configuration issues.

• Can't register device #6590: This issue involves multiple configuration challenges, including SMTP authentication and device registration errors. The updated error messaging in this PR may not directly resolve the specific objectives but could aid in identifying misconfigurations or errors in setup more clearly, potentially assisting in troubleshooting the SMTP and command-related errors mentioned.

Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

• Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
  • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>.
  • Generate unit-tests for this file.
  • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
• Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai generate unit tests for this file.
  • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
• PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai generate interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table.
  • @coderabbitai show all the console.log statements in this repository.
  • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit tests.
  • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.

• 61-62: The error message returned when configuration errors are detected has been updated to be more generic. While this addresses the issue of distinguishing between errors and warnings, it might be beneficial to provide more detailed feedback to the user. For instance, specifying whether the errors are critical or if there are only warnings that do not block the execution could enhance user experience.

Consider enhancing the error message to include specifics about the nature of the configuration issues detected, such as the number of errors and warnings, or even listing the warnings if the verbose flag is set.
