Colored error messages

[Yu Co]

Hi,

Does anyone know whether it is possible to write code which shows me
colored error messages after the validation detects an error?

I'm pretty sure you have the wrong mailing list, but I have no idea
which one you want.

I'm pretty sure you have the wrong mailing list, but I have no idea
which one you want.

OP probably wanted the Ruby on Rails list.

Nevertheless, I've been pondering lately how effective would the act of
colorizing error messages and stack traces be against "scroll blindness"
(when lots of output scrolls by on your terminal and you have to hunt
around for relevant information)?

It might be interesting to try.

In Rubinius, backtraces are instances of the Backtrace class, and they
have methods you can override. Stay tuned, and you could make a
colorized one. Heh

Have I understand you correct that colored error message r not possible
yet?

 

[Daniel Finnie]

No, they are possible. According to the other posters, you can just
override the Exception/Backtrace class.
