Improve Syntax Error reporting
lamuertepeluda opened this issue · 2 comments
Hello and thank you very much for this tool!
I am using it but I found out that it is difficult to find the file that caused a syntax error.
Currently, a syntax error is reported like this:
YAMLSemanticError: Nested mappings are not allowed in compact mappings at line 23, column 25:
type: string
^^^^^^…
No idea where this occurred, though! I was using a glob pattern like src/api/**/index.js
where I have hundreds of folders with several API definitions per file... You can imagine my frustration!
I had to use the debugger to find it out. Of course this is not the best-comfort solution for an information that is already available to the parser!
Proposed solution
Why don't you include the filePath
into the error? The information is already available here https://github.com/Surnet/swagger-jsdoc/blob/master/src/specification.js#L182
Just find a way to include it in the pushed errors https://github.com/Surnet/swagger-jsdoc/blob/master/src/specification.js#L198 and in the throwed errors https://github.com/Surnet/swagger-jsdoc/blob/master/src/specification.js#L264
Should I make a PR or do you prefer to handle this by yourself?
Hi @lamuertepeluda thanks for the issue. Feel free to open a PR and implement this since you are fresh with the main idea of the issue.
I will just ask you to add tests and prints on the final pr.
