When installing via a conanfile, the "ERROR: The recipe is constraining settings." message includes details
about the setting that was constrained, but not the recipe that did it.
It would be helpful if the message also named the recipe, so the user doesn't have to search through all
the recipes of the whole tree to find which one is constraining that setting.
The implementation at
https://github.com/conan-io/conan/blob/develop/conans/model/conan_file.py#L71
already has access to the recipe's name (conanfile.display_name),
so it would be easy to add this to the error message.
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
