Nimscript errors aren't shown

[dom96]

I've just realised that nimscript errors are hidden behind the --verbose flag:

~/.nimble/pkgs/nimble-0.9.0 » ~/projects/nimble/src/nimble check --verbose                                                             1 ↵

They should be shown as an error when "error" is in the message.

Btw compiles seems to fail in the current VM (CC @Araq)

I'm not sure if this is still applicable with the nocompiler implementation.

[dom96]

It could be, do such error messages get output by Nimble now?

[genotrance]

We run nim e either collecting its output for package info or letting it go straight to stdout so in either case, the output is printed for errors.

I just verified - we can close this.
