better messages back from compilation process? #4

Closed Laeeth closed 9 years ago

Laeeth commented 9 years ago

At the moment there are no error messages for me when compilation fails. I know that it fails, but not why. %tb produces traceback on python side, but not stderr during dmd compilation. I realize it's at an early stage, but worth incorporating when you have more time.

Laeeth.

The whole situation with what ends up in the terminal window and what ends up in the cell output needs fixing. It's on my todo-list

Thanks, John. It's pretty usable as it is, but this would be a nice refinement. (I don't think I see a terminal - any tips to make it show). I can imagine if you're busy you might have mixed feelings about the nuisance caused by releasing it when people start to use it and want changes when you don't have time - so I appreciate your releasing, and no hurry on anything. If I can, I will try to figure out myself when time.

The other thing is at the moment it's a pain if you want to use vibed and any projects built with dub. So some way to either use dub with the -v to figure out the build and automatically reverse engineer it, or use dub as a library, or specify the pyd+pydmagic files in dub format would be of benefit in the medium term. I tried and failed on first two attempts (not to write this, but just to build using dub) but will get there eventually; for other people, especially newcomers, there may be value in making this easy.

I will spend a bit more time trying to figure it out.

when i say "terminal window" i mean the terminal window from which you launched ipython.

Hopefully I'll get to take a look at this today

Aha! I didn't explicitly check, but don't recall seeing compiler output in that window.

Russell's message on the forum was a perfect example of how even for clever and experienced people small frictions may have large consequences...

This should now be fixed. Compiler output is dumped to the notebook if compilation fails.
