Cyclic errors and others don't show up in .compiler.log

[chenglou]

The errors outside of the typical pipeline (cyclic deps, ppx, etc) don't show in .compiler.log.

Just filing this, though I'm not sure we should put more stress onto .compiler.log

can you provide more concrete information so that it can be addressed in a batch style. This is a bit vague

See here:

I think that breaks the contract of what compiler.log should contain, in terms of shape of messages.

Sorry I think this is my mistake. I presumed the compiler log always indented an error two spaces. This one isn’t, so the mini parser skipped it

[bobzhang]

@chenglou is this still relevant?

Just revisited this. For context: self-cycle error goes to compiler.log, but cycle of size 2 or more the log is empty. Cannot be solved in the editor without a compiler fix.

This is done.
