Error output too cryptic (Read 5500 times)

	In AtmelStudio I got the following compiler output: Compiling 'testcode' for 'Arduino Nano w/ ATmega168' testcode.ino : : In function 'void __vector_12()': testcode.ino : ' token Error compiling But this is not useful. The same program compiled in Arduino IDE (verbose mode): testcode.ino: In function 'void __vector_12()': testcode.ino:742: warning: unused variable 'preverr' testcode.ino:743: warning: unused variable 'prevpreverr' testcode:802: error: expected `;' before ':' token testcode.ino:825: warning: suggest parentheses around + or - inside shift That's useful! How can I get such output in AtmelStudio?

	Hi Luc, We are working on better errors however you will find you can double click many of the errors to GoTo the source code. The double click is useful but means we have to ensure sources are opened from within the project and not for the temporary compiler copies of the source which would confuse users. So we have to work hard with the error messages. Please respond to the usb thread that you posted. I will have more info for you after you confirm things.

	I hope there will be a verbose mode too!

	Yes but with all paths to sources changed when ever possible. Does the double click drill down into errors work ok?

	Yes that works. The problem was only that the error description was so cryptic I needed to go back to Arduino IDE to make sense of it. P.S. its strange but I still get no notifications on the AVRISP topic, even though "Notify of replies" is ticked. They work fine for this topic.

	Yes we will improve the errors, hopefully then combined with double click we get a good solution. Try stopping notifications for the thread then click get notifications again. Thanks
