A simple plugin that makes the error reporter a bit more concise.
I find it useful when doing refactoring: I get a lot of compilation errors, and I waste a lot of time switching between files and looking for line numbers in the error message, when I can immediately see what's wrong when looking at the faulty line.
This plugin helps by summarizing all the errors per file.
Side by side comparison (this plugin on the left, origin on the right):
[info] Compiling 2 Scala sources to /Users/martin/Desktop/foo/target/scala-2.12/classes...

[warn] @deprecated now takes two arguments; see the scaladoc.

To enable this plugin globally, simply put the following in
~/.sbt/0.13/plugins/plugins.sbt
:
addSbtPlugin("org.duhemm" % "sbt-errors-summary" % "0.6.0")
You can also enable it for a specific project by putting the same line in
project/plugins.sbt
in your sbt project.
This reporter supports several configuration options that let you change how errors
are reported. The configuration can be accessed via the reporterConfig
setting key.
A configuration is represented by an instance of a ReporterConfig
, which is
generated from a Contraband schema.
The examples can be copy pasted directly inside you global settings in sbt (~/.sbt/0.13/global.sbt
)
or inside your build definition. If you enabled this plugin globally and want to configure it globally,
you'll also need to add the following import:
import sbt.errorssummary.Plugin.autoImport._
or start sbt with sbt.global.autoimport
set to true
.
The supported configuration options include:
-
colors: Boolean = true
: Determines whether the reporter will produce a colored and formatted (as in bold, underlined, etc.) output. Defaults totrue
. Example:reporterConfig := reporterConfig.value.withColors(false)
All the colors are configurable. See ReporterConfig.contra to see all the existing configuration keys.
-
shortenPaths: Boolean = true
: Determines whether the reporter will strip the current working directory from paths it displays. Defaults totrue
. Example:reporterConfig := reporterConfig.value.withShortenPaths(false)
-
columnNumbers: Boolean = false
: Determines whether the reporter will show the column number at which an error has been recorded, Defaults tofalse
. Example:reporterConfig := reporterConfig.value.withColumnNumbers(false)
-
reverseOrder: Boolean = false
: Determines whether the reproter will show the error messages in reverse order (first error displayed at the bottom of the screen.) Defaults tofalse
. Example:reporterConfig := reporterConfig.value.withReverseOrder(false)
-
showLegend: Boolean = true
: Determines whether to show a legend at the bottom for the various types of numbers (line, column, error). Note that despite this setting, a legend will still only be shown if there actually are errors, and not otherwise. Example:reporterConfig := reporterConfig.value.withShowLegend(false)
