Masterscope: `. ANALYZE filename` fails silently #1858

Open hjellinek opened 4 weeks ago

hjellinek commented 4 weeks ago

The Masterscope command

. ANALYZE filename

fails silently.

The corrected command

. ANALYZE ON filename

works as expected.

rmkaplan commented 4 weeks ago

Perhaps . ANALYZE filename should at least print a message “filename is not a function” ?

This looks like a job for DWIM!

No, what if you have a function and a file with the same name? The syntax for functions and files is different—files require ON.

If you say . ANALYZE ON XXX, you get a file-not-found error. By symmetry you should get a meaningful message or error if you say . ANALYZE XXX, where XXX is not a function.
