Summary of Progress (November 04 – November 10)

This week, I focused on refining SARIF report generation, including handling successful executions, consolidating reports, and implementing regular expressions to improve version detail accuracy.

What I Worked On:

• Key PRs:

  1. feat(errors): generate sarif report on successful execution #17052

     • Implemented the generation of SARIF reports for successful executions, allowing the compiler to document not only errors but also instances where the code compiled successfully. This enhancement provides a fuller view of the compilation process and improves tracking of build outcomes.

  2. feat(errors): consolidate multiple sarif reports into a single report #17054

     • Worked on merging multiple SARIF reports into a single comprehensive report, especially for cases where multiple errors or informational messages are generated. This consolidated format improves readability and simplifies report parsing.

Learning and Implementation:

• I also worked on learning regular expressions (regex) to improve data handling within SARIF test reports. Specifically, I implemented regex patterns to accurately capture version information, ensuring consistency and accuracy in version fields across the TEST_OUTPUT.

Challenges:

• Combining multiple SARIF reports while preserving the correct format and structure, especially with the addition of successful execution data, presented some challenges.

Next Steps:

• Develop additional utilities for enhanced error handling, such as customizable error messages and extended formatting options.
• Explore ways to implement visual markers like squiggles and carets to make error messages more user-friendly and intuitive.
• Document these error-handling utilities to facilitate future integration and customization.
