[rules-users] KnowledgeAgent doesn't throw an exception even if it is not able to get the resource

[Harshit Bapna]

Hello All,

I am using knowledgeAgent to retrieve a resource from Guvnor.
I have deliberately stopped the Guvnor to check if it throws any error but
KnowledgeAgent eats up the error.
*How can it be detected that an error occurred during creation of
knowledgeBase?*

*ConsoleOutput:*
Although KnowledgeAgent does logging in console
