gEDA-bug: [Bug 700448] Re: Poor reporting of schematic load errors

[Peter TB Brett <700448@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

** Summary changed:

- gnetlist succeeds with garbage schematics
+ Poor reporting of schematic load errors

** Description changed:

-  affects geda
-  tag gnetlist
-  done
+ libgeda doesn't signal an error when a schematic or symbol file contains
+ invalid syntax, or when any other load error is encountered.
  
- gnetlist succeeds even when the input schematics specified contain
+ For example, gnetlist succeeds even when the input schematics specified contain
  unusable garbage.
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  
-   echo GARBAGE > test.sch;
-   if gnetlist -ggeda test.sch > /dev/null 2>/dev/null
-   then
-     echo Succeeded
-   else
-     echo Failed
-   fi
+ ÂÂecho GARBAGE > test.sch;
+ ÂÂif gnetlist -ggeda test.sch > /dev/null 2>/dev/null
+ ÂÂthen
+ ÂÂÂÂecho Succeeded
+ ÂÂelse
+ ÂÂÂÂecho Failed
+ ÂÂfi
  
  Expected output:
  
-   Failed
+ ÂÂFailed
  
  Actual output:
  
-   Succeeded
+ ÂÂSucceeded
