Exception handling for nimble on Windows for network connections #6099

Closed norandom closed 7 years ago

norandom commented 7 years ago

Hi,

just found this.

Windows 8.1, Personal Firewall, outgoing apps need to be whitelisted.

Initial attempt, fresh Nim install:

C:\Users\Notandi
λ nimble install https://github.com/pragmagic/karax.git
     Error: 'hg' not in PATH.

Popup comes up, I whitelist nimble.

C:\Users\Notandi
λ nimble install https://github.com/pragmagic/karax.git
Downloading https://github.com/pragmagic/karax.git using git
   Warning: File inside package 'karax' is outside of permitted namespace, should be named 'karax.nim' but was named 'compact.nim' instead. This will be an error in the future.
      Hint: Rename this file to 'karax.nim', move it into a 'karax\' subdirectory, or prevent its installation by adding `skipFiles = @["compact.nim"]` to the .nimble file. See https://github.com/nim-lang/nimble#libraries for more info.
  Verifying dependencies for karax@0.1.0
 Installing karax@0.1.0
   Success: karax installed successfully.

The error message Error: 'hg' not in PATH. is probably misleading, and from wrong exception handling.
