| stevied | i'm looking at docs.raku.org/language/exceptions#...exceptions | 17:06 | |
| what is that `:trying("zombie copy")` bit? | |||
| and why is a period tacked on to the front of that message | 17:12 | ||
| it just assumes, you are describing a method? | |||
| lizmat | it;s just a named arg to the exception class | 17:28 | |
| stevied | yeah, but I don't understand why it assumes the first word in the message is a method by throwing a dot in front of it | 17:31 | |
| just seems kind of weird | |||
| lizmat | I'm not sure which dot you're referring to? | 17:32 | |

| stevied | in the output: `# OUTPUT: «Failed to find 'foo/bar' while trying to do '.zombie copy' ` | 17:35 | |
| that argument is just an arbitrary string, right? doesn't have to contain a method call, does it? | 17:37 | ||
| this is all the documentation has on it: docs.raku.org/type/X::IO::DoesNotExist#___top | |||
| lizmat | aaaah..... ok | 17:43 | |
| yeah, in normal usage, that exception *is* called with a method name | |||
| so that example basically is not so good :-( | |||
| stevied | ok, yeah, I'm like what the hell is "zombie"? | 17:44 | |
| lizmat | yeah... perhaps make a doc issue for it | ||
| stevied | k | 17:45 | |
| so basically I think documentation for the trying method is needed | |||
| lizmat | but there is no trying method | 17:58 | |
| stevied | i'm lost. what's this? docs.raku.org/type/X::IO::DoesNotE...hod_trying | 17:59 | |

| gfldex | <@563790557831495691> .trying is the public accessor to an attribute in X::IO::DoesNotExist . | 18:15 | |
| stevied | ok. and what type is that accessor? some magic container or something? | 18:16 | |
| gfldex | github.com/rakudo/rakudo/blob/mast...n.pm6#L670 | 18:18 | |
| stevied | so it doesn't look like "X::IO::DoesNotExist" runs any kind of method AFAICT | 18:23 | |
| method on the string passed to it, I mean | |||
| gfldex | It will call `.Str` in the string substitution. | 18:25 | |
| stevied | so what's the point of throwing the `.` in front of it? | ||
| lizmat | that exception is thrown inside IO::Path I believe, and then the method name is passed along | 18:26 | |
| see github.com/rakudo/rakudo/blob/mast...h.pm6#L756 | |||
| and then github.com/rakudo/rakudo/blob/mast...h.pm6#L747 | |||
| gfldex | By convention `$.trying` is meant to contain a method name. | 18:27 | |
| stevied | ok, thanks. will take a look when I get a chance. gotta run. | 18:49 | |

| stevied | is there an easy way to migrate modules after upgrading rakudo star? | 21:12 | |
| Nemokosch | is rakudo star still relevant at all? | 21:33 | |
| it's kind of strange we hear about it so often when it's virtually abandoned from what I know 🤔 | |||
| drakonis | rakubrew's the current good option | 21:39 | |
| stevied | abandoned? really? | ||
| i'm using the binary looks like, actually. not rakudo star bundle | 21:41 | ||
| i thought they were the same but apparently not | 21:42 | ||
