issue 2561, send all [bat error]s to stderr in default_error_handler

issue 2561, send all [bat error]s to stderr in default_error_handler match default.

So, here is my entry into the CHANGELOG.md:

• Send all bat error messages to stderr, see [bat error]: 'conf.d' is a directory. is written to STDOUT instead of STDERR #2561 (@deboard)

The check is failing... Any ideas?

The CI logs show:

Grepping for PR info

I'm guessing it wants the PR # instead of the issue # in the changelog entry. So try with #2827 instead of #2561.

Thanks, that was it. Good to know.

This issue appears to be tied to if "attached_to_pager" is set to true in the Controller, stdout gets passed to default_error_handler (in error.rs) if so. A good fix may be to just always write "[bat error] {error}" to stderr in in the default section of the match in default_error_handler (error.rs@70).

I have tried this. It fixes the problem and doesn't doesn't mess with the pager functionality.

If you currently run bat like "bat --pager=never /tmp 2> /tmp/bat.txt", it handels redirection correctly.

Can we please turn this into a Rust-based integration test. See tests/integration_tests.rs and search for .stderr to see some examples.

[deboard]

Will do.

This script is still here. Can it be removed?

This looks so close to being ready. Was there any particular reason this was abandoned?

[deboard]

I'll take a new look at it. I can't remember. Was I waiting for a review? Not sure. I'll get back at it.
