Ian Liu Rodrigues (Dec 02 2023 at 23:38): Ian Liu Rodrigues (Dec 02 2023 at 23:38):The following program doesn't show the debug messages when I run it with roc test. Is there a way to show the debugging messages? The Roc Tutorial (https://www.roc-lang.org/tutorial#debugging) seems to imply the debug messages should work in this case.
foobar =
dbg "Hi"
"the foobar string"
expect foobar == "hi"
main =
Stdout.line foobar
I think this is the same issue I ran into and posted in another thread. Your repro is a lot better than mine though
Brendan Hansknecht (Dec 03 2023 at 00:02):Yeah, some of my newer changes that fixed debug as a whole probably regressed this functionality, will look into it.
Luke Boswell (Dec 03 2023 at 00:33):I dont think dbg ever worked with roc test. I'm not sure but from my testing I thought only roc dev. I feel like it should though, if that is possible.
Brendan Hansknecht (Dec 03 2023 at 00:54):It will now! Just got it working locally.
Brendan Hansknecht (Dec 03 2023 at 00:54):Added to the changes in #6143

Brendan Hansknecht (Dec 03 2023 at 01:36):Many thanks for your help and reviews!
Ayaz Hafiz (Dec 03 2023 at 01:44):Of course. Thanks for working through this. It's always good when we spread the knowledge base.
Luke Boswell (Dec 03 2023 at 05:02):Wow, that was quick Brendan. Nice
