do not crash on bad user config, or if we must at least provide better feedback #4145
Closed as duplicate
Description
Description
I messed up the structure of my config with non-existent keys, and opencode died with this extremely helpful message:
[ERROR] Error: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'x3.data.providers') │After this operation, 1736 kB disk space will be freed.
TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'x3.data.providers') │Do you want to continue? [Y/n] y

It should definitely tell me that my config is bad, better yet, tell me what it does not like.

I have a PR in the works for this: #4058.
It will surface errors better to the user without crashing like this. Although, since the error in this specific issue is regarding the configuration, the app should probably exit immediately (*), informing the user of the issue. This is because virtually anything useful in the TUI depends on the user's configuration.
(*) I'm currently working on this.

exit immediately is a much better idea yes!

@ferdinandyb and @veracioux this is a duplicate of #3868. Can you close this and discuss there?
If not... given OC is still being developed please try to "stay in the game" rather than exiting immediately. Robust startup is discussed, here #3537 (comment)
