Whenever I try to just do this kind of thing by itself then it
behaves correctly.
Ex: (As you can see it prints the error messages in the order
it should.)
https://run.dlang.io/
What I'm doing is basically this:
static foreach (viewResult; generateViewsResult)
{
pragma(msg, "Compiling: " ~ viewResult.name);
mixin(viewResult.source);
pragma(msg, "Compiled: " ~ viewResult.name);
}
I would've expect the compiling to be before the error
message, but the compiled after the error message.
It may be on a later semantic pass that the error occurs, I'm
not sure. Only thing I can think of.
However it seems like it doesn't do that, but as I can't
reproduce it I'm just wondering what causes it.
I'm suspecting that it's something to do with dub and that
it's within a dependency that's compiled as a source library,
but I've yet to test it out completely.
Try verbose output maybe?
It's really impossible to debug mixins when you have no idea
which mixin the error actually come from, which is what I'm
trying to solve.
You may want to try using __traits(compiles) in a debug version
to see whether it will compile or not, and if not, print the
thing you are trying to compile.

I tried to use __traits(compiles) but it always returns false for
the code I'm going to mixin, even though it's valid, that was my
initial go to, so this is really a second attempt on something to
give meaningful error messages when certain mixins don't compile.
