[Pasdoc-main] pasdoc returns an error for my source file. The error msg is not clear to me.

[Harald S. <har...@fi...>]

Hi guys,

thanks for picking up pasdoc again. Maybe you can help me with an issue I
have.

The error occurs with the compiled binary from the current source, and the
0.13 binaries I got from sourceforge. Would you point me towards the
direction where I can find my mistake?

Here is the context:

pasdoc --output doc MyUnit.pas
PasDoc 0.13.0 [2013-07-14|FPC 2.6.2|Linux|64]
Documentation generator for Pascal source

All these errors mean that pasdoc tried to write a file, but received an 
exception. This means that operating system doesn't allow to write such 
file.

Most probable cause is that you did not create directory "doc" (which 
you indicated by --output doc). PasDoc *does not* (at least now) create 
it automatically. Use "mkdir -p doc/" in your scripts to always first 
make sure that doc/ subdirectory exists.

Other possible causes are that you disk is full, or you don't have 
permission to write files inside doc subdirectory.

I documented this on http://pasdoc.sipsolutions.net/OutputOption . I 
also committed a change to code so that CreateStream now shows the 
underlying message (from TFileStream.Create), that *could* describe an 
exact reason why creation failed (unfortunately this depends on RTL, and 
on Linux it just shows "Unable to create file" without any more 
information).

Michalis

Hello Michalis,

thanks a lot for your help. The directory was missing.
