Probably a NULL, right? Would be interested to hear what BugId has to say about it.
Yeah, a NULL AV: Description: Access violation while reading memory at 0x0 using a NULL pointer.pic.twitter.com/J4s4MJoS6X
I think BugId could use an install quickstart guide, though. It too too many iterations to get to the above screenshot by trial and error, IMO.pic.twitter.com/ACyhEMYNVg
Some of these may be obviously avoidable, to somebody who has used the code before. But for somebody new, and without an install/quick-start guide, I ran into each of these issues. And people often give up on things very easily, based on what I've seen.pic.twitter.com/vrRGLdxPDl
Is there any way in which these error messages could be improved? Obviously, there is way too much irrelevant information in the first one, which I have addressed. But for the other messages I can't think of any way in which I could avoid or improve them.
Several error messages are fine in and of themselves. I was just frustrated that I encountered an error at all, given the lack of guidance in how to install BugId. The fixe in these cases isn't a change to the error message itself but rather a guide to let people know what to do.
That would let somebody know what they're getting into ahead of time. The current situation is that I had to play "go fish" and attempt to run BugId repeatedly, only finding out through error messages the next requirement I had to meet, one at a time. w/o knowing how far to go.
Yes, I understand that is frustrating. I would like to create a how-to, but just haven't had the time. Also, the project has been evolving quite fast, which would have meant frequent updates would have been necessary. But it's been pretty stable for months, so now may be the time
Honestly, just prepending the http://README.md with a few lines about what is required, how it is to be installed (e.g. the steps to take on a clean Windows VM), and an example use case would go far.
