Description
Follow up to #12102.
This prints the full path to where the error occurred in a config object using available reflection metadata. Currently some paths will be duplicated until we shift otelcol to call
component.ValidateConfig
onotelcol.Config
and remove manual calls toValidate
, but no information will be missing. If this is a concern we can do both steps at once.Example error messages:
I'll clean this PR up once #12102 is merged, but you can see the latest commit for the changes relevant to only this PR.
