formatting errors

[dcsan]

for some reason output errors are in unreadable JSON with \n instead of formatted text is there a way to change this default? harp -h yields nothing

I had the same problem. The errors were annoying me in this format so I tweaked the compile command in bin/harp.js. I replaced line 148 console.log(JSON.stringify(errors, null, 2) with console.log(JSON.stringify(errors, null, 2) .replace(/\\n/g, "\n"))

and now my errors are a little easier to read (in my opinion).
