Summary of Progress (November 18 – November 24)
This week, I focused on enabling verrors=context
globally, manually updating numerous test outputs, and refining the error visualization in the DMD compiler to ensure a better user experience.
What I Worked On
Key PRs:
-
feat(errors): make verrors=context global and update test outputs #17085
- Implemented global support for
verrors=context
, enhancing error visualization with consistent squiggles and carets in error messages.
- Implemented global support for
Manual Test Updates:
- Fixed 50+ TEST_OUTPUT's manually this week, ensuring compatibility with the global implementation of
verrors=context
. - Currently addressing the remaining outputs, particularly those containing regexes that cannot be auto-updated, to ensure all test cases properly reflect the new error visualization.
Learning and Implementation:
- Studied and resolved discrepancies in outputs caused by the global
verrors=context
change. - Ensured all updates align with the intended output format, avoiding regressions or inconsistencies in error reporting.
Next Steps:
- Work on fixing the remaining TEST_OUTPUT's, including regex-based outputs, ensuring they have proper squiggles and carets.
