Errors

[ahmedelgabri]

I have some feedback on the error messages.

After installing it & I was debugging an old CSS file & I got this error

I runned csscss -v body.css I got this `Had a problem parsing the css at line: 1, column: 1
Run with CSSCSS_DEBUG=true for verbose parser errors'

I would prefer if the debug feature is a flag something like --debug or --debug=true instead cause when I wrote this csscss --help it didn't say anything about how can I turn debug on.

secondly, after I tweeted you & you replied back that I need to run the command like this CSSCSS_DEBUG=true csscss -v body.css I got another error Had a problem parsing the css at line: 1, column: 1 Failed to match sequence (SPACE? blocks:((COMMENT / NESTED_RULESET / RULESET) {1, }) SPACE?) at line 1957 char 1. - Don't know what to do with "p.contactu" at line 1957 char 1.

actually the selector was p.contactussubheading excuse the bad selector name, apparently that's why I needed this tool so I can debug this file :) The problem actually was at line 1964.

Lastly, I think the output will be very helpful if it has line numbers, right now it looks like this

{.selector} AND {#selector} share 10 rules -moz-border-radius: 2px 0px 0px 2px another: rule; another-rule; ...

Maybe something like this will be better

L:20 {.selector} AND L:45 {#selector} share 10 rules -moz-border-radius: 2px 0px 0px 2px another: rule; another-rule; ...

Thanks for all the great feedback! I'll try incorporating some of them soon.

Hi Zach,

@beesman Your issue sounds the same as #11

[nilsborg]

@beesman @zmoazeni I'm getting exactly the same thing..
Mountain Lion, Ruby 1.8.7

[zmoazeni]

@nilsborchers Yeah 1.8.7 isn't supported only 1.9.x+

[nilsborg]

hmm ok i updated to 1.9.3 now and am getting similar stuff:

@nilsborchers Let's move this conversation to #11. In fact this comment might be helpful to you.

[nilsborg]

@zmoazeni ahh thx you're right i had to uninstall the 1.8 gem and reinstall with the new gem bin :)
thx! 👏

[kevboutin]

@nilsborchers How did you uninstall the 1.8 gem after installing 1.9?

[zmoazeni]

@kevboutin Can we keep 1.8 vs 1.9 issues in #11? You can tag him in that thread as well.

[zmoazeni]

@ahmedelgabri Ok a couple fixes just hit master and will be released in the next version (after v1.0.0)

I would prefer if the debug feature is a flag something like --debug or --debug=true instead cause when I wrote this csscss --help it didn't say anything about how can I turn debug on.

This is now --show-parser-errors

Had a problem parsing the css at line: 1, column: 1 ...The problem actually was at line 1964.

This is fixed in master too. I can't be 100% accurate but at least it's closer than the useless "line: 1, column: 1" all the time.

I'm going to close this issue and reopen a different one that is solely about line numbers.
