code-errrors
Building a Command Line Tool which provides suggestions when developers face errors while coding!
How it works
- Give a command to run
code-errors gcc hello.c
. - It will run the command given and the error we get, should be parsed and sent to OPEN AI.
- Print the suggestion given by OPEN AI.
Steps to set it up
Installation
Run the following commands for MacOS:
brew tap probro27/tap
brew install code-errors
- Get an OPENAI API key from https://openai.com/api/ after signing up.
- Create an environment variable by the name
OPENAI_SK
. An example of setting this up in MacOS or Linux is placingexport OPENAI_SK="<your_api_key>"
in~/.bash_profile
and runningsource ~/.bash_profile
. - Now, run your code with a command
code-errors <command>
.
Usage - Example
Write a hello.c
file with the code (bonus if you can find the obvious error)
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
print("Hello world!");
return 0;
}
This looks like a simple hello world program. Let's compile it using our favourite complier gcc
.
Run: code-errors gcc hello.c
Result:
Result: Code: 1, error/output:
hello.c:4:5: error: implicit declaration of function 'print' is invalid in C99
[-Werror,-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
print("Hello world!, %1f");
^
hello.c:4:5: note: did you mean 'printf'?
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer
/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/include/stdio.h:170:6: note: 'printf' declared here
int printf(const char * __restrict, ...) __printflike(1, 2);
^
1 error generated.
Suggestion is:
Suggestion:
The error message is telling that the implicit function 'print' is being used in line 4 -
it should either be changed to 'printf' or the library containing the definition of 'print' should
be included. It is also suggesting to include stdio.h header file which contains the definition
of printf() function.
