Subject: bug#19630: error message when referencing non-existing output not helpful
Date: Sat, 24 Jan 2015 23:01:07 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87mw57hm8s.fsf@gnu.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <idj8ugzgf9j.fsf@bimsb-sys02.mdc-berlin.net> (Ricardo Wurmus's message of "Mon, 19 Jan 2015 12:51:20 +0100")
Commit f304c9c fixes that. Now the result is something like this:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ ./pre-inst-env guix build abiword -n
guix build: error: reference to invalid output 'binfds' of derivation '/gnu/store/7lxd5yri8s4vkailk1jg5bxiqrshblj1-glib-2.42.1.drv'
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
It doesn’t say the context in which that invalid reference occurred, but
it’s already much better.
Note that at the lowest level it’s possible to create a derivation that
refers to a non-existent output of some other derivation. The problem
will go unnoticed until the ‘build-derivations’ RPC is called.
Thanks,
Ludo’.
