error prompt incorrectly suggests <spc> as a valid action (in old unison) #1055

Open VA00 opened 1 week ago

When encountering a connection error in Unison, the prompt displays:

Press return to continue.[<spc>]

Pressing space do nothing. Very annoying error message. Please remove "[]" and change error message to just "Press return to continue.".

Please read https://github.com/bcpierce00/unison/wiki/Reporting-Bugs-and-Feature-Requests (which you should already have read) and adjust your bug report to provide the missing information. In particular I can't tell if you are running the latest release or 2.48.

Full error message is

Unison 2.51.5 (ocaml 4.13.1): Contacting server...
Warning: Can't connect to server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]:xxxx: Connection refused

Press return to continue.[<spc>]

That's very out of date. Did you see the part in the page I linked to that said bugs are not accepted against old versions? Specifically:

The unison project does not provide support for old versions. As of 2023-10, only 2.53.3 and newer are considered new enough to be allowed in the issue tracker. You must upgrade both the local and the remote computer. (We realize you might not have administrative permissions on the remote, but that does not create an obligation for the unison project to spend time dealing with old versions.)

As always, I'm not claiming it's fixed in the most recent. I'm saying that I choose not to pay attention to old releases.
