#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 thomie): Ok, you're right that changing the directory is not needed. But one thing I don't understand: why are those checks in the `END` block, if not for running even on an error. Wouldn't they be better placed straight in the main function then? Would make things simpler. I guess the author of those old repository checks in the `END` block thought about potential errors that could occur, and deemed it necessary to show those warnings. Yes it obscures the initial error, but maybe that error is caused by having an old repository in the first place. The bug that still stands is getting false warnings about old time library being present when running another command before `sync-all get`. My patch fixes that. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8886#comment:7 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
