Marco ArmentTranslation: "You screwed up somewhere in this entire file. Figure it out yourself. Good luck! 🤷”
It's the "Segmentation fault” of the modern era.
i’m unable to type-check YOUR expression in reasonable time
(The actual problem, 67 lines below the error message: .disabled() needs to be applied to the Button, not the ToolbarItem, which I had to figure out by just commenting out random stuff until it compiled.)
Maybe some of these new "intelligences" can be used to make SwiftUI's error messages useful
Matt Birchler@marcoarment AI can do a lot of things, but this may be an impossible task.
Peter van Broekhoven@marcoarment “Here's what I found on the web for ‘The compiler is unable to type-check this expression in reasonable time; try breaking up the expression into distinct sub-expressions’”
Tom Jacob@marcoarment tbh why can’t apple intelligence be used to give better error messages? Can’t it suck in your code, whatever it can from the compiler and give a probabilistic idea of what’s going wrong?
Mieszko Ślusarczyk@tomjacob @marcoarment Maybe, but it may get the answer wrong - would that help?
@spitfire @marcoarment perfect is the enemy of good, I agree.
@tomjacob @marcoarment I am using LLMs from time to time. Sometimes they help me do something, sometimes they lead me down some crazy path and waste my time by inventing stuff that does not exist and confidently giving me the wrong answer which ultimately wastes my time:/
Tomer Shemesh@marcoarment I actually have had a surprising amount of success when these errors happen just copying the entire file into ChatGPT or CoPilot and asking it to find the error for me.
Sören@marcoarment OK! Playing “She’s My Type” by Kurt Reston
Jeff@marcoarment I’d rather have useless messages than “confidently wrong” messages
@marcoarment Oof, you don’t want an LLM in your compiler.
Steve Tibbett@marcoarment If you just dropped the file with the error into Claude, does it detect the error? Having it diagnose an error automatically could quite possibly be great.
