I really like the direction this is going. This is something that I too have asked for in the past. I've even hacked up my own stuff to do it, though obviously not as elegantly as you or Geoff. Here's my use case. I have a bunch of tests that generally pass. I hack something fundamental and run my tests. Loads of them fail. Diagnostics spew over my screen. "Urgh", I say. Now I could scroll back through them. I have a large buffer, so the first error might still be there. Or, I could run the tests again and pipe the output into vim or something. What I'd really rather do is "make test DIE_ON_FAILURE=1" or something. I don't want it on all the time. I don't want to change anything in my code to do it. I don't (yet) care that it doesn't run my cleanup code or whatever. I just want to easily find out what the first error was, and then have a short edit/test cycle until the bug is fixed. Then I'll go back to plain "make test" as usual. Anyway, thanks for making this happen. -- Paul Johnson - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pjcj.net
