Failed Settings deployment on Scratch Org Creation

[DougMidgley]

Summary

Settings are failing to deploy and there is no information what is causing error, and we cannot easily access the org to see the details.

Steps To Reproduce

Create a scratch org with a large collection of settings as part of a scratch org definition file.

sfdx org:create:scratch -f config/shapeRepresentation.json --set-default --target-dev-hub $devHubAlias --alias $useralias --wait 30 --duration-days 7

Some settings are deprecated or not supported (for whatever reason).

Output is the following

Creating Scratch Org... \
RequestId: 2SR6N00000007gTWAQ (https://-eu.my.salesforce.com/2SR6N00000007gTWAQ)
OrgId: 00D8K0000002ntY
Username: test-@example.com
✓ Prepare Request
✓ Send Request
✓ Wait For Org
✓ Available
Authenticate
Deploy Settings
Done
Error (1): A scratch org was created with username test-****@example.com, but the settings failed to deploy due to:
Not available for deploy for this organization
You do not have the level of access required to deploy this component.
Not available for deploy for this API version
Not available for deploy for this organization
Creating Scratch Org... done

We see 4 errors here but do not have any information around what is actually causing this.
When tracing logs, we can see what this is and settings can be removed which cause issues.
Additionally, when this happens, the alias is not set and the auth code has already been used so accessing the org is somewhere between hard and impossible.

Expected result

• Settings clearly show what configuration was the issue (as is available in backend)
• Alias is set as long as the scratch org is generated

Actual result

• Setting deploy fail is unclear what is cause
• Alias is not set, but auth code has already been used so cannot reuse for auth.
