Summary of Progress (December 16 – December 22)

This week, I completed the implementation of the verrors=simple option and moved on to enabling verrors=context globally. The main focus remains on maintaining a clean test suite while ensuring the changes provide an improved user experience.

What I Worked On

1. Completed verrors=simple Implementation

   • The feature allows to skip context printing:
     PR: feat(errors): implement verrors=simple to skip context printing #20566.

2. Global Enablement of verrors=context

   • Began work on enabling verrors=context globally:
     PR: feat(errors): enable verrors=context globally #20576.
   • Successfully enabled verrors=simple for all FAIL_COMPILATION test files to minimize test noise.

Challenges

While applying verrors=simple to COMPILE and RUN test files (in d_do_test.d), I encountered failing unit tests. Resolving these issues is crucial before fully enabling verrors=context globally.

Next Steps

• Investigate and resolve the unit test failures related to COMPILE and RUN test files.
• Finalize the global enablement of verrors=context with verrors=simple preserving the original behavior of the test suite.
