Enhence error message "Not in Workspace"

Open NobbZ opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

The current message when one is not in the workspace on submitting solutions is not really helpfull.

Perhaps show the full absolute path of the first file that has the problem and also the configured workspace folder, eg:

Not in workspace.
File to submit: /Users/user/exercism/bash/hello-world/hello.sh
     Workspace: /Users/user/Exercism

This way students could either carefully compare on their own, or they could copy paste the full error into chat/github/whatever.

This would reduce turnaround times, as the very common step of asking for the configured workspace would not be necessary anymore.

This would be super useful, but on Mac it'd be even better if It simple "just worked" irregardless of which casing the user used - case insensitive filesystems are a thing.
