Do tests check stderr?

Group Phase Implementation

Hello,

will the tests only look at stdout/the path specified in the arguments or will they also look at other data streams like stderr and therefore fail if we print something there?

Also will you be able to look at stderr manually when giving feedback to us as a group such that debugging (especially in the parsers) will be easier.

@mosc00004 an answer in full ascii-art would be appreciated with an enormous amount of likes :slight_smile:

Hi,

the tests will only be looking into the specified/default output path.

You can surely use the stderr to debug, however you could also use the debugger.

In case you want to print something when the validation fails, you need first to log that the corresponding validation step failed, then you are free to log any error message you want and terminate the program.

The answer regarding your question:

Also will you be able to look at stderr manually when giving feedback to us as a group such that debugging (especially in the parsers) will be easier.

is:
