I often feel that dub relies too much on dub.[json|sdl] and too
little on command-line switches. Here's the latest example:
1) Write code
2) Start refactoring code
3) Compile and run to check the partially implemented change
4) dub gives a warning; the warning is expected due to the
incomplete change; I don't care about it right now, I just want
to check that something related to that change works
5) Because of the warning, dub doesn't even finish building the
project
6) I want to force dub to build it, but there's no switch for
that
7) I have to go check the docs for what is the dub.json setting
that allows warnings (it's "buildRequirements":
["allowWarnings"])
8) I change dub.json
9) I compile it again
universe 1:
10) I finish the refactoring
11) I forget to remove the new setting
universe 2:
10) I remove "allowWarnings" immediately
11) while trying to do another intermediate testing step, I get
another warning
12) goto 7 or 8
It's not well documented, but you can always overwrite DUB with
DFLAGS:
DFLAGS="-dw" dub
It will give you a warning though, but it's justified as you
might have `DFLAGS` set accidentally.
