There is an report
argument on elm make
.
--report=<report-type>
You can say --report=json to get error messages as JSON. This is only
really useful if you are an editor plugin. Humans should avoid it!
It should simplify error handling and allow for nice error messages.

Okay, I did some research and it seems that it's mainly for editor plugins.
It give a following output
{
"type":"compile-errors",
"errors":[
{
"path":"~/ember-elm/tmp/elm_compiler-input_base_path-nEJC1ryT.tmp/dummy/elm-modules/Hello.elm",
"name":"Hello",
"problems":[
{
"title":"TOO MANY ARGS",
"region":{
"start":{
"line":7,
"column":5
},
"end":{
"line":7,
"column":9
}
},
"message":[
"The `text` function expects 1 argument, but it got 2 instead.\n\n7| text \"hello world\" 1\n ",
{
"bold":false,
"underline":false,
"color":"red",
"string":"^^^^"
},
"\nAre there any missing commas? Or missing parentheses?"
]
}
]
}
]
}
I think we're fine with basic text output as it is already nicely formatted and gives good enough overview where the issue is.
