From f9cddaeef35b2ea0dadf717101ed896f6b857abd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Purdie Date: Sat, 18 Sep 2021 18:45:07 +0100 Subject: cookerdata: Show a readable error for invalid multiconfig name If a multiconfig starts with a digit, users would see pages of errors as we use the multiconfig as a python function name prefix and python functions cannot start with a digit. We could avoid doing that but it is easier just to ask users to name multiconfigs not starting with digits. This tweak ensures the user sees an easier to understand error.
