Partial prerequisites should not be the default #113

Closed marick closed 12 years ago

marick commented 12 years ago

If you want to "call through" to the real function, you should be explicit about that, perhaps with this syntax:

(fact ...
   (provided
      (foo 3) => 4
      foo => fall-back-to-existing))

Brian, is this going to address this issue from the mailing list? https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/midje/_ea1PSbZDsw

If so, what is the timetable?

marick commented 12 years ago

I'm not sure what you mean by "this".

I suspect "this" would be part of Midje 2, whose schedule depends on:

family crises diminishing
paying work diminishing
another volunteer project that more urgently needs rescuing getting rescued

Few things would make me happier than being able to grab hold of, and complete, Midje 2 this summer.

Sorry, my pronoun lacked a clear antecedent... trying again.

Is this github issue (#113, "Partial prerequisites should not be the default") going to address the issue from the mailing list that I raised a month or so ago ("You never said partial prerequisites would blind me")?

I'm eager to see the partial pre-requisites functionality become an explicit choice instead of the current imposition.

Thanks for your time on this wonderful project.

@cch1 Sorry not to respond: yes, this is to address your issue.

cch1 commented 12 years ago

Since the fall-through syntax you describe in this issue is not projected until Midej 2, is there any chance that the breaking change that introduced partial prerequisites as the default can be reversed until then? They have really killed my productivity...
