While working on a new external, I tried adding my local alire-index before the community index for testing. The error reported was "Not a readable directory". After 2 hours investigation (gdb ...) I realised that I’d been trying to add alr-index rather than alire-index.
This patch (which is in the style of other Outcome_Failure messages) would probably have saved that time!
Apologies for creating a new PR having closed #1522 - I’ve squashed the 'test' commits, including one last one that passes all but Windows tests. I can’t see what’s wrong with the Windows tests - there are obvious differences in the number of backslashes, but they’re in a part I haven’t changed!
