774908 - mozconfig2client-mk: Fix the above error before continuing

Status: NEW

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

[Joey Armstrong [:joey]]

mozconfig2client-mk is setup to detect missing .mozconfig file and will error out reporting a generic message.  Reporting the actual problem (missing file) would help usability as the test is able to fail in places where no error context has been reported:

% gmake -f client.mk check-sync-dirs
client.mk:106: *** Fix above errors before continuing..  Stop.

build/autoconf/mozconfig2client-mk
  # If FOUND_MOZCONFIG isn't set, look for it and make sure the script doesn't error out
  echo '$(error Fix above errors before continuing.)'

I got this error. Moving mozconfig to mozilla-central root fixed it. or would have worked by setting MOZCONFIG I guess.
Thank you and  @Joey for pointing this out
