Summary of Progress (December 23 – December 29)
This week, I worked on enabling verrors=context
globally and handling challenges with COMPILE
and RUN
test files. I also started planning a resource for documenting errors to make it easier for users to understand and resolve issues.
What I Worked On
- Fixing
COMPILE
Test Files:
The approach of usingverrors=simple
globally ind_do_test.d
didn’t work as expected forCOMPILE
files. For now, I updated only the necessary test files to keep things moving. - Investigating
RUN
Test Files:
Found that enablingverrors=context
globally caused manyRUN
test files to behave differently. This wasn’t the case before in PR #17085. I’m still trying to figure out the exact issue. - Error Documentation Idea:
Started thinking about creating a website or documentation to include everything related to errors. I’ll need to gather data to get this started.
Challenges
- Debugging the unexpected behavior in
RUN
files.
Next Steps
- Fix the test failures and complete the global enablement of
verrors=context
. - Collect data and draft plans for the error documentation/website.
- Solve the issue causing inconsistencies in
RUN
files.
Happy New Year in advance! 🎉 Wishing for exciting progress and fewer bugs in the coming year! 😊
