Issue 199 in xmonad: Prompt.AppendFile crashes when file is not writable

Issue 199: Prompt.AppendFile crashes when file is not writable http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=199 New issue report by m...@cloudconnected.org: What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Add an appendFilePrompt with a filename in a non-existent directory 2. Use the prompt I think an error message should be displayed instead of crashing What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? I'm using XMonad 0.7 on Debian GNU/Linux testing.

This is a general problem with the contrib modules I've seen. I still have a pending bugfix for the SshPrompt module when ~/.ssh/known_hosts isn't readable (which can happen by mistake or when ~ is on an authenticated network filesystem such as NFSv4 or AFS and the authentication token expires), if I ever get our Haskell environment to the point where I can build stuff again. -- brandon s. allbery [solaris,freebsd,perl,pugs,haskell] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH
