bengee: any reason to keep the errors silent and only available if you look into $store->getErrors() ?
12:01:25
thx for sending the reply, scor :)
12:01:55
bengee: I like the technical insight of your reply better!
12:03:41
no very important reason for not auto-terminating on error, mainly for personal convenience. Errors in ARC aren't typed, sometimes I wanted to keep the script running, even if some component ran into issues
12:04:26
e.g. the RDF loader may get a parsing error when the wrong mime-type is used. it will then re-try transparently with iso-8859-1
12:05:14
the endpoint component will output the error, for example, because executing a broken query doesn't make sense here
12:05:32
well, at least the endpoint displays them, so it's not so bad...
12:05:55
imagine you're writing a validator, then you wouldn't want ARC to directly throw errors
12:06:21
bengee: sure, but maybe there could be a switch to turn them off on some occasions
12:06:42
yeah, that's a nice idea
12:07:16
like quit_on_error => 0|1
12:07:18
bengee: the white screen of death is always tourmenting, esp for newbies
12:07:37
you're right
12:07:54
or even better, if you can catch the exceptions on continue the script
12:08:17
s/on/and
12:08:45
yes, gotta switch to php5 some day
12:08:59
bengee: anyways, just my .02c. ARC is great regardless! :)
12:09:14
thx :)
12:09:29
bengee: yeah, many project are going for PHP5 - http://www.gophp5.org/
12:09:32
and I like the idea of turning error display on/off
12:10:17
bengee: wish I had enough experience with ARC to submit patches, but hopefully the code will be on a VCS online sometime!
12:10:44
did you see the bzr repos?
12:11:09
I can pull in patches from remote branches now
12:11:25
I aggree @errors :)
12:12:04
bengee: oh, yes, forgot about your annoucement of code.semsol.org, will have to check it out sometime
12:12:09
I highly prefer Git if that is possible... though I think you can do git<->bzr
12:13:41
bzr was easier to set up here, and I like the ability to deploy things simply by ftp to a non-bzr site
12:14:25
code.semsol.org doesn't have bzr installed, but you can still do checkouts and stuff
12:15:12
I just git-push to a "bare" repository and rsync it to a remote directory the same way
12:20:15
AAA_awright: I'm sure there'll be a well maintained clone on github someday.
12:20:38
AAA_awright: there is already http://github.com/bendiken/semsol-arc/tree/master but not sure it's kept up to date. I'll ask arto
