Gracefully handle build failures #4

Closed SeanTAllen closed 5 years ago

SeanTAllen commented 6 years ago

Currently, if we hit a failure building any manifest, we will exit and stop building all manifests. We want to be able to report errors in a "fashion that will be noticed" and still be able to continue.

In my mind, "fashion that will be noticed" would involve emailing the creator of a given library and letting them know about the issue. I say this because I imagine that most errors will be something that the library creator can fix not something that we the maintainers of main.actor can fix. If we want to do email notifications, manifest files would need to be expanded to include an administrator email address.

This has been merged to master.

Currently the notification is sending a message to the #notifications stream in the Pony Zulip.

We can beef it up later.
