"When --resume <uuid> fails with 'No conversation found', the error message should indicate which project directory was

TL;DR

Modify the error message for the --resume <uuid> command to include the project directory that was searched.

Guidance

• Review the code handling the --resume <uuid> command to locate where the error message is generated.
• Update the error message to include the current working directory or the specific project directory that was searched for the conversation.
• Consider adding a hint or suggestion in the error message to inform users that the UUID might exist in another project, prompting them to check other directories.
• Test the updated error message to ensure it provides the expected information and improves user experience.

Example

# Example of how the error message could be updated
error_message = f"No conversation found in {os.getcwd()} for UUID {uuid}. Please check if the UUID exists in another project directory."

Notes

The exact implementation details may vary depending on the programming language and framework used. This guidance assumes that the error message can be modified directly in the code handling the --resume <uuid> command.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Update the error message to include the project directory, as this directly addresses the user's need for more informative error messages when resuming conversations.
