Simulator warning line numbers

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

Am I alone in thinking that it would be great if simulator warnings displayed line numbers?

To expand and illustrate… I’m currently getting the classic:

“WARNING: Polygon could not be generated. The polygon outline is invalid, possibly due to holes or self-intersection.”

Now, in my particular situation I happen to know where the problem is and how to solve it, but often this is not the case, I’m sure, for many developers. I’ve also been in the situation where the only way of identifying if the line executing is the one I’m expecting is by wrapping everything in print statements.

Balance that against the normal line numbers for actual exceptions and it starts to look a bit odd.

Let’s get some votes on it. I think this one makes a lot of sense actually.

Note, engineering has asked for a clarification on the request. It needs more time and more discovery.

Clarification provided in the feature request - but to illustrate, here it is again…

Thanks @horacebury. You did say those things here, but we needed it said on the feature request. This post will eventually get lost due to age and it’s really hard to track bugs and features here.

The information will be helpful.
