Changes Introduced

  • Always display stdout from code blocks (even if an error occurs) as it may be relevant
  • Display stderr from code blocks as it may be relevant too

I noticed that the non-stdlib imports were split into 2 groups, seemingly
randomly. No other file does this so I just brought it back to one group
and let goimports sort it.
Any output that is printed may still be useful even if the command returns
an error so lets display it. Printing out even in case of error is fine,
if there's no output and output.Write handles that fine. I tested this by
trying to run a code block for a language I do not have the compiler for.
Code blocks may try to print to stderr which is currently dropped.
@mmlb mmlb force-pushed the show-stderr-and-do-not-drop-stdout branch from 51b5f71 to 8ae6fd2 Compare September 17, 2022 01:48

@mmlb I'm not a huge fan of the error messages produce by the stderr because of the tmp file. I wonder if there's a better solution (perhaps a different keybinding, to also receive the stderr)?

Alternatively, I wonder if we can scrub the file name from the Output which would solve the issue.

Yeah agree about that. I would not like to have a different key binding, I can take a look at dropping the filename.

@maaslalani I've pushed a quick hack to get rid of the name (only tested on go and bash atm) how's this error output look?

I'm not a fan of the # command-line-arguments and some of the other stuff but I don't think it should be removed, if the $tool adds it then it should be there I think.

Hey @mmlb, I don't like the idea of the OutputReplacement since it makes adding a language have more friction. I'm not sure the correct approach but I think my thinking would be a separate key bind / extra step to reveal the full error so that it doesn't cloud up the presentation by accident during a live presentation.

Another option is to log to a temporary file which people can inspect?
