Regex format validation

Opened this issue · 0 comments

When a newtype of string is declared constrained by a regex, but the regex contains a syntax error, it seems the error may not be discovered until actually trying to validate data against it, at which point error is called. At the very least, the regex should be parsed when building the schema into the model, so the error gets reported at compile time.

Here's an example of the error:

Explict error in module Text.Regex.TDFA.String : Text.Regex.TDFA.String died: parseRegex for Text.Regex.TDFA.String failed:\\\"^+?[1-9][0-9]{1,14}$\\\" (line 1, column 3):\\nunexpected '?'\\nexpecting empty () or anchor ^ or $, an atom, \\\"|\\\" or end of input\\nCallStack (from HasCallStack):\\n  error, called at ./Text/Regex/TDFA/Common.hs:29:3 in regex-tdfa-1.2.2-e01180ae0bdb6e7a9d65d42cfa90bc5379b996c695d7bb6b8f2ccddf817c15bb:Text.Regex.TDFA.Commonn
