Confusing output when code is compiling when running with "make --watch"

Open jfmengels opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

When running elm-test-rs make --watch, the output when the code is compiling is a bit unhelpful.

  1. If you start running it when code compiles, it looks like it’s hanging (but it’s still doing things or it’s done). I would expect a message such as "Success! Compiled N modules." or just "Success!" to have some feedback and not feeling like the tool is in an infinite loop.

  2. If after a change it’s compiling, then you have a large chunk of empty lines

I am not sure that these separators and blank spaces are worth having in this mode. Again, I would add a "Success!" message of some sorts at least.
