Show a better warning for missing pyre dependency about fixit

[isidentical]

The problem is that, on get_repo_caches it can't find the cache, and it gives a warning, but the custom handler shows the warnings as an exception since (exc_info set to True). I'm not sure whether that is intentional or not, so maybe @jimmylai can help?

Some rules rely on Pyre to provide inferred type (e.g. AwaitAsyncCallRule) to work.

Fixit/fixit/rules/await_async_call.py

Line 16 in 18365db

class AwaitAsyncCallRule(CstLintRule):

Missing Pyre doesn't impact the use of Fixit.
If you don't want to install Pyre, you can simply ignore the exception message. It's a suggestion, not an error.

Flake8 is included in Fixit via Flake8PseudoLintRule.
https://fixit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/rules/Flake8PseudoLintRule.html

So Fixit actually work fine on your example code. There was no other suggestions from Fixit specific rules.
If you run the same command on code has some issues that Fixit currently supports, it should provide you extra suggestions and autofixes.

Closing this since there is real no issue.

Wouldn't it be more feasible (especially targeted for new users who have no idea about this, since most linters don't require additional type-checkers to start in that same environment) to ignore this errors, and just give a couple of warnings at the end.

Current:

Encountered exception <class 'Exception'> for the following paths:
./main.py
Running `pyre start` may solve the issue.
main.py:4:1
    E305: expected 2 blank lines after class or function definition, found 1

Found 1 reports in 1 files in 0.33 seconds.

IMHO a better:

main.py:4:1
    E305: expected 2 blank lines after class or function definition, found 1

-> Some rules were disabled since pyre is not found on the current environment
Found 1 reports in 1 files in 0.33 seconds.

That makes sense especially Pyre is not listed as required dependency of Fixit.
Add a better suggestion at the end of the CLI run is a better user experience (instead of the current exception).
Reopen to keep track this action item.
