How to exit on first error

[sheerun]

Hey,

What is the equivalent of set -e in shelljs?

[nfischer]

Not sure if this exists yet, although it should be possible to implement. This would involve (among other things) writing a set() command, however. Which options in addition to -e do you think would be most useful to implement?

[nfischer]

Looks like I spoke too soon. Try config.fatal:

require('shelljs/global');
config.fatal = true;
rm('-f', 'fake_file');
ls('fake_file');
ls('fake_file'); // This is never executed

[nfischer]

Closing this, since config.fatal should be good enough for now. We can reopen this if there is more justification for a full-fledged set command that supports more than just the -e/+e option.
