Hermes Gambit shows ambiguous error when reading a non-existant spell

Open Nootathotep opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

steps:

  1. use Introspection and Retrospection to put a nonsense pattern on the iota.

  2. use Hermes's Gambit to cast it.

result:

Hermes's Gambit itself appears red, and the error message "That pattern isn't associated with any action" makes it look like Hermes's Gambit doesn't exist.

Planning to fix this by prefixing every mishap with the name of the action that caused the error (right now it's done ad-hoc per mishap, makes debugging spell circles extremely frustrating)

I think it would also help to have a "traceback" for mishaps, for debugging nested meta-eval.
