bleen commentedNot sure but this maybe related to #638416: No messages in install / template logic for $messages ... I'll check when I'm on a computer and not an iPhone
Comment #2
bleen commentedEither way though I'd say you can't release d7 if errors don't show on install ...
Comment #3
bleen commentedI just ran the installer and put in a wrong username and got this error (see attachment)...
good news is I got an error .. bad news is that the error is unreadable when its red text n an orange BG
this patch fixes the problem (see after-patch attachment)
