Can you set Developer Studio to stop compile on first error?

Posted by jquerijero on 27-Jan-2015 14:10

I set the 'Maximum number of errors reported per build' to 1, hoping that long delay after compiling a program with error will go away.

Is there a trick to stop the compile on first chance of error? The delay is a time waster for big program.

In a large file, if there are multiple errors. Setting 'Maximum number of errors reported per build' option to 1, does not seem to stop building for first error in same file. Complete file is built and errors are shown. However this option makes sure when you are doing Project Compile, It stops compilation for next file after errors in a file.

Thanks,

To me this is expected behavior.
 
PDSOE relies on the AVM to do the compile. The only feature that allows to compile is the COMPILE statement in the ABL. So a single compile invocation is the atomic unit that cannot be broken.
 
It would IMHO require a ABL COMPILE statement change to stop on first error and not try to evaluate the file any further.

This is correct. It looks like the behavior is also true for compiling subfolder.
