Probably not? For one project I worked on, I had the build process emit a message: “please upgrade to foo bar version 2”
One of the top questions on stack overflow was “how do I fix this?”
How about… upgrade?
- krisoft 5y agoBuild processes output a lot of useless junk messages all the time. First challenge is to make the relevant line stand out. Our build in a similar situation uses a cowsay ascii art where the cow tells you that your foobar is out of date. Stands out very clearly. Also makes it clear that this is not just some obscure system grumbling but that this is a very intentional message from your colleagues. The other thing “how do i fix this?” might mean is that the person asking doesn’t know how to update their foobar. Our system state the exact command the developer has to run to get their foobar to the correct version. No guesswork needed. Saves a ton of time.
