#8886: sync-all: END actions result in confusing error message -------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: fw | Owner: hvr Type: bug | Status: patch Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Trac & Git | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: sync-all Operating System: | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Unknown/Multiple | Difficulty: Easy (less than 1 hour) Type of failure: | Blocked By: None/Unknown | Related Tickets: Test Case: | Blocking: | -------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Comment (by fw): Replying to [comment:4 thomie]:
The idea of using the `END` block, if I understand correctly, is that it should run at the end, no matter what else happens. For example the change back to the `initial_working_directory` should not be skipped in case of errors.
If the script dies with an error, the process is probably in a slightly broke state, and printing all those warnings only obscures the error. Changing the directory does not in itself have any effect because the process is about to terminate anyway, and its not the point of the `END` action. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8886#comment:6 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
