How do you get air to error out / fail if there is a compilation error?

[phantomdenkali]

I've been using air in my development. Seems to work well, however, I have found a few times when there is a compliation/build error in the code, air just continues on and runs the last version of the binary somehow? I have to stop air, run go run main.go to find/fix the error and then run air again. Of course, sometimes I don't realize the error and go through my manual testing workflow to find puzzling results since the code doesn't match the runtime

Not sure if I am missing something obvious in my workflow? I use VSCode as my IDE btw

You can use stop_on_error = true, here's the example:

build.stop_on_error config/flag should do it

See comments for more.

can we vote for this config to be default?
it cost me 2 hours of debug yesterday.

Sounds like a reasonable request. 👍 Application keep running when it isn't even compiling is not a good idea.
