#13122: Investigate reporting build errors with harbormaster.sendmessage -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: mpickering | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- The phabricator API provides a method `harbormaster.sendmessage` which allows builds to report information back so that it is displayed on the interface. The goal is to avoid having to delve into the build logs in order to investigate failures. Information about the API method can be found in [https://phabricator.haskell.org/conduit/method/harbormaster.sendmessage/ conduit]. The API provides a rich set of options to report different information about a build. Some ideas: * Reporting the precise location of all terminal build errors * Reporting the outcome of all tests (this might be quite noisy but the only way to see is to try!) I don't know whether this is a good idea or how it works precisely but integrating harbourmaster with differential would be an efficiency gain. This is potentially related to #8809. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13122 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
