upon `digger build XXX` failure, issue a message with a working bisect command? #47

Closed timotheecour closed 7 years ago

this is to lower the bar for people to do bisection, which could improve a bit speed at which regressions are addressed...

(in response to your comment on https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16596)

this is a common use case so maybe even have a command line to do that without requiring to create a bisect.init file, eg:

echo "bad=master\ngood=@ 1 month ago\nbisectBuild=true\nreverse=false\ncomponents.enable.rdmd=false" | digger bisect -

- is commonly used to refer to reading from stdin so the syntax shouldn't be too weird

Not really.

d4d6acc2c1245680c8e0d1351912e993306b73a2 adds specifying bisect options on the command line.

Digger still doesn't know what a working revision would be.

This was probably the first time someone other than me used the "bisectBuild" option.
