           Summary: Raise a more descriptive error when a child is not
                    found.
    Classification: Other
           Product: LDTP
           Version: 2.0.0
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: Normal
         Component: ldtp2
        AssignedTo: ldtp-dev at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: elopio at softwarelibrecr.org
         QAContact: ldtp-dev at lists.freedesktop.org
      GNOME target: ---
     GNOME version: ---


On getchild function, when no matches are found ldtp raises a generic
exception:

if not matches:
  raise LdtpServerException('Could not find a child.')

It would be more useful to show a message saying what we were looking for.
Something like:
'Couldn't find child with name "%s", role "%s" and parent "%s"' % (child_name,
role, parent)

Well, I'm not really used to the syntax of string formatting, but that's the
idea.

Thanks,
pura vida.
