Error message drowns

[oharboe]

The error message from firtool is drowned out. The line with the actual error message is an [info] line:

[info] Running CIRCT: 'firtool -format=fir -warn-on-unprocessed-annotations -verify-each=false --lowering-options=disallowPackedArrays --split-verilog --dedup --strip-debug-info --extract-test-code -o=foo/ -disable-infer-rw -annotation-file foo.anno.json < $input'

What version of chisel-circt were you using that showed this? There was supposed to be a bunch of work that @mwachs5 did in https://github.com/sifive/chisel-circt/pull/15 to make this look better.

On top-of-tree, I'm seeing outputs like:

sbt:chisel-circt> runMain circt.stage.phases.Foo
[info] running circt.stage.phases.Foo 
Running CIRCT: 'firtool -format=fir -warn-on-unprocessed-annotations -verify-each=false -infer-rw -disable-infer-rw -dedup -annotation-file Foo.anno.json < $input'

STDOUT:

firtool: Did you mean '--ir-hw'?

For a design like:

object Foo extends App {
  import chisel3._

  class Foo extends RawModule {
    val a = IO(Input(Bool()))
    val b = IO(Output(Bool()))

    b := a
  }

  (new circt.stage.ChiselStage)
    .execute(
      Array("--target", "systemverilog"),
      Seq(chisel3.stage.ChiselGeneratorAnnotation(() => new Foo), circt.stage.FirtoolOption("-infer-rw"))
    )

}

I'm going to close this given that I think it's fixed. Any issues you're still seeing, feel free to open an issue on upstream Chisel.
