Dialyzer is absolutely terrible though. I know of no modern, widely used programming tool that has worse error messages. And showing error messages is its only purpose.
It'll tell you there's a problem in function x and actually the problem is 4 functions down the stack. It's nuts, it's shit.
- hopia 7y agoI agree, I've had nothing but trouble with it. Just the other day, I don't know if serious or not, I read the Phoenix framework's author say I solve 100% of my dialyzer issues by not using dialyzer on Slack.
- PaulStatezny 7y agoFunny thing is, I agree that the error messages are terrible, but it catches legitimate bugs sometimes. I've seen at least a few dozen bugs caught in development over the last few years caught by Dialyzer.
