Modes error

[Tobychev]

Hello Stefano,
when I try to build and make a typo in the mode name, there is no proper error handling, I'm just handed an stack trace and told that the section is missing.

It seems like it would be good to have something that catches this error and tells the user they entered the wrong mode name instead.

Thank you for your nice builder!

Hi Tomas,

you are right, it is nice to have a deeper use-errors catching... I will try to implement such a feature tomorrow. Thank you for your help!

Hi Tomas,

I have just uploaded a modified version that try to provide a more clear error message when typo in the modes name is inserted. As an example, if you try to build the cumbersome example with the following command

 FoBiS.py build -mode gnus

you will obtain (in bold character) the following error message

Error: fobos file has not mode named "gnus". Defined modes are:
  -) "gnu"
  -) "custom"

Is this the feature you request?

Thank you, this is exactly what I asked for.

I do however find the "-)" a bit confusing, I think this is a very unusual way of indicating list items, and if it is a simple change I would prefer either "->" or plain "-", but it is not a real problem.

Nice suggestion, I have opted for a plain "-".

See you soon.

Looks nice!
