The ability To Copy And Paste Build Errors & Results for code debugging. (Mind Numbingly Infuriating)
21 May 2023, 05:02
The most frustrating thing i have found building cbots on ctrader is you cannot copy the error codes and text from the build result. Sharing information with others about the problem your having is mind numbingly infuriating if you have multiple error codes and texts you need to write manually over and over because you cannot just copy and past the error codes directly.

Hi there,
If you need advanced development and debug options, it's better to use an external IDE.

Not being able to simply copy errors messages is really a show stopper here.

Hi all,
Just use an external IDE for development. You can do this with a click of a button and get all the development functionalities you need. The built in editor is appropriate only for simple projects.

Even with simple projects, one often needs to copy the error messages. Moreover, the new developers and advanced users who are learning to code are likely doing that in cAlgo and they are those who are most likely to encounter compilation errors they need to copy (to ask other developers about).

They can do that in an IDE. The product team will not divert resources from other important features to build something that already exists and can be used immediately.

Hi Panagiotis,

Exactly. That's why I posted the link to your “Creating a Bot takes nothing with ChatGPT”. I'm hacking a quick prompt into the AI and get something that almost works. It just used some deprecated method here and messed up a parameter there. It's always quick and simple. And then I have to use an IDE just and only to be able to copy the error message back to the prompt. C'mon. :)
And btw I really like the built in editor. It does the job and is nicely integrated.
