From 8679e29df13002f6c37d19511236e8879bba5681 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Purdie Date: Thu, 15 Apr 2021 13:49:13 +0100 Subject: sanity: Add error check for '%' in build path It has been reported that '%' characters in build paths break with python exceptions, probably due to confusion with python string escaping. Whilst it is probably fixable, showing the user a human readable error is better given it doesn't work.
