Invalid path errors in iwtrace.log

TeamSite 7.3.2, OpenDeploy 8.2.0.2 (soon migrating both to 16.4.1.2), RHEL Server 6.1

Hello!

Reviewing our iwtrace.log files we see a fair number of errors like this resulting from deployments. (Given the number of branches and users we have it's inevitable.)

[Sat Jan 23 16:47:01 2021] The path assets/home/js/pages/agencies/expand-collapse-2.js does not exist in area /production/main/foo/bar/WORKAREA/content.

These can be traced back to typos and miswritten paths in DCRs, pages, etc. The workflows otherwise overlook the issue and the jobs complete successfully, with nothing in the OpenDeploy logs indicating there was a problem.

We can work out the source of the errors by matching the date stamp of the error to the corresponding job and reviewing the attached files, but this is cumbersome. Is there any more straightforward way to find the offending document(s) and/or the job numbers? Are we overlooking any other logs? (iwjoberrors.log captures none of this.) Can the logs be configured to capture either (without blowing up to GBs a day)?

Thanks!

Update: Managed to trace the errors to a custom workflow that scans submitted DCRs for paths of files and then attaches them. Works just fine unless the path has the correct syntax but the file isn't actually there. This users task.attachFiles(filelist) method which returns CSPathStatus[] attachStatus, which can be viewed to catch the error, so will probably approach it from that direction.
