Halt simulation on assertion failure? #8

Open dgryski opened 8 years ago

dgryski commented 8 years ago

When running a model it's annoying to have to stop the simulation by hand and try to drag the state back to where the failure occurred. A button that would halt the simulation immediately and allow exploring the current state would be easier. This also matches the behavior of the command line simulator.

Should we just halt all simulations upon an error? Then if the user clicks Simulate again, push forward?

dgryski commented 8 years ago

Perhaps buttons with "Run" and "Run until Error"? Or a checkbox that says "Halt on error" (default to on? off?)

ongardie-sfdc commented 8 years ago

What's the use case for wanting to run past the error?

dgryski commented 8 years ago

No idea, was just trying to preserve somehow the current behaviour :) If the current behaviour is unwanted, then yeah we don't need any of that.

ongardie-sfdc commented 8 years ago

Yeah, I don't think there's a reason for the current behavior. That's true for much of the UI :)
