How to debug Table Excerpt Include errors?

[David Doria]

I am using a Table Excerpt Include to pull in tables from pages with a specific label (there are dozens of these pages). When something is wrong with one of the tables, I just see an error that says "Error: Column does not exist: Name", but it doesn't tell me WHICH page that table with the missing column came from. Is there some way to figure this out besides going to look at all of the pages with that label manually?

Thanks,

David

Hi David,

I suppose you are using the Table Transformer macro and you see this error there. You can show the source table under the merged table and look through those tables.

You are correct about my usage. I can show the list of tables there (with 'Show source tables'), but I can also show them directly in the Table Excerpt Include macro. However, in both places, what I'm missing is the name of the page that the table came from so I can go fix it :).

Unfortunately, this is the only way to debug it.

Bummer. Can I submit a feature request for this somewhere? This has actually caused severe headaches many times when the number of labeled pages is very high.
