We have only one option to * print them and to make them verbose (--show-trace). In the code they * are always collected, but they are not printed by default. The code * also collects more traces when the option is on. This means that there * is no way to print the simplified traces at all. * * I (layus) designed the code to attach positions to a restricted set of * messages. This means that we have a lot of traces with no position at * all, including most of the base error messages. For example "type * error: found a string while a set was expected" has no position, but * will come with several traces detailing it's precise relation to the * closest know position. This makes erroring without printing traces * quite useless. * * This is why I introduced the idea to always print a few traces on * error. The number 3 is quite arbitrary, and was selected so as not to * clutter the console on error. For the same reason, a trace with an * error position takes more space, and counts as two traces towards the * limit. * * The rest is truncated, unless --show-trace is passed. This preserves * the same bad semantics of --show-trace to both show the trace and * augment it with new data. Not too sure what is the best course of * action. * * The issue is that it is fundamentally hard to provide a trace for a * lazy language. The trace will only cover the current spine of the * evaluation, missing things that have been evaluated before. For * example, most type errors are hard to inspect because there is not * trace for the faulty value. These errors should really print the faulty * value itself. * * In function calls, the --show-trace flag triggers extra traces for each * function invocation. These work as scopes, allowing to follow the * current spine of the evaluation graph. Without that flag, the error * trace should restrict itself to a restricted prefix of that trace, * until the first scope. If we ever get to such a precise error * reporting, there would be no need to add an arbitrary limit here. We * could always print the full trace, and it would just be small without * the flag. * * One idea I had is for XxxError.addTrace() to perform nothing if one * scope has already been traced. Alternatively, we could stop here when * we encounter such a scope instead of after an arbitrary number of * traces. This however requires to augment traces with the notion of * "scope". * * This is particularly visible in code like evalAttrs(...) where we have * to make a decision between the two following options. * * ``` long traces * inline void EvalState::evalAttrs(Env & env, Expr * e, Value & v, const Pos & pos, const std::string_view & errorCtx) * { * try { * e->eval(*this, env, v); * if (v.type() != nAttrs) * throwTypeError("value is %1% while a set was expected", v); * } catch (Error & e) { * e.addTrace(pos, errorCtx); * throw; * } * } * ``` * * ``` short traces * inline void EvalState::evalAttrs(Env & env, Expr * e, Value & v, const Pos & pos, const std::string_view & errorCtx) * { * e->eval(*this, env, v); * try { * if (v.type() != nAttrs) * throwTypeError("value is %1% while a set was expected", v); * } catch (Error & e) { * e.addTrace(pos, errorCtx); * throw; * } * } * ``` * * The second example can be rewritten more concisely, but kept in this * form to highlight the symmetry. The first option adds more information, * because whatever caused an error down the line, in the generic eval * function, will get annotated with the code location that uses and * required it. The second option is less verbose, but does not provide * any context at all as to where and why a failing value was required. * * Scopes would fix that, by adding context only when --show-trace is * passed, and keeping the trace terse otherwise. * */ if (!einfo.traces.empty()) { unsigned int count = 0; for (auto iter = einfo.traces.rbegin(); iter != einfo.traces.rend(); ++iter) { if (!showTrace && count > 3) { oss << "\n" << "(truncated)" << "\n"; break; } if (iter->hint.str().empty()) continue; count++; oss << "\n" << "… " << iter->hint.str() << "\n"; if (iter->pos.has_value() && (*iter->pos)) { count++; auto pos = iter->pos.value(); printAtPos(pos, oss); auto loc = getCodeLines(pos); if (loc.has_value()) { oss << "\n"; printCodeLines(oss, "", pos, *loc); } oss << "\n"; } } } out << indent(prefix, std::string(filterANSIEscapes(prefix, true).size(), ' '), chomp(oss.str())); return out; } }
