Summary
When a test fails due to missing build artifacts, users previously saw only a generic "An error occurred" message with no details. This made it difficult to understand what went wrong.
Example: Test #7139 failed because the Windows build was still in progress (Windows builds take ~40 minutes, but the test tried to fetch the artifact immediately).
Changes
error_messageproperty to Test model to expose the last error message_diagnose_missing_artifact()helper that checks GitHub workflow status and provides specific error messages:Before vs After
Before: User sees generic "An error occurred - Something went wrong while the tests were running"
After: User sees specific error like "Error: Build still in progress: 'Build CCExtractor on Windows' is in_progress. Please wait for the build to complete and retry."
