#1075 PR merged: Improved BugError message with BASH_SOURCE and WORKFLOW¶

Labels: enhancement, fixed / solved / done

jsmeix opened issue at 2016-11-22 10:28:¶

Now e.g. during "rear mkbackup"
a code line in /usr/share/rear/path/to/foo.sh like

BugError "Unexpected bar"

would show this to the user:

ERROR: 
====================
BUG in /usr/share/rear/path/to/foo.sh:
'Unexpected bar'
--------------------
Please report this issue at https://github.com/rear/rear/issues
and include the relevant parts from /var/log/rear/rear-xxx.log
preferably with full debug information via 'rear -d -D mkbackup'
====================

I think it helps a lot to have the source file where
BugError or BugIfError was called directly visible
for the user so that he could directly edit that file.

If there is no furious objection, I will merge it soon...

Strange:
I have changed the BugError function in
/usr/share/rear/lib/_input-output-functions.sh
but that change is not in this pull request.

I found my mistake:
I had really changed
/usr/share/rear/lib/_input-output-functions.sh
(i.e. the one with the leading '/') instead of
usr/share/rear/lib/_input-output-functions.sh
(i.e. the one in my GitHub checkout directory).
