Types of changes

What types of changes does your code introduce to OpenZeppelin Midnight Contracts?
Put an x in the boxes that apply

  • Bugfix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected)
  • Documentation Update (if none of the other choices apply)

util-linux script exits 0 whatever the child did unless -e is given, so on Linux every failed compile was reported as a success: a green check, exit 0, and no artifact on disk. It surfaced in compact-contracts when compiling under --feature-zkir-v3, where zkir fails late.

script also merges compactc's stderr into the PTY capture, so the error text never reached the console. The failure path now falls back to stdout.

Verified manually against compact-contracts: the fixed bin fails crypto/test/mocks/MockElGamal.compact with Unsupported test_eq: JubjubScalar == JubjubScalar and exit 1, and passes --dir utils with exit 0. The published compact-builder 0.0.4 reports success on the same input.

PR Checklist

  • I have read the Contributing Guide
  • I have added tests that prove my fix is effective or that my feature works
  • I have added documentation of new methods and any new behavior or changes to existing behavior

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Compilation errors now include captured output when standard error is unavailable, improving diagnostics for PTY-based builds.
    • Linux builds now correctly report the exit status of failed compilation processes.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage verifying that captured output is logged before compilation failures are reported.

util-linux `script` exits 0 whatever the child did unless `-e` is
given, so every failed compile on Linux was reported as a success:
a green check, exit 0, and no artifact on disk. Surfaced when
compiling under `--feature-zkir-v3`, where zkir fails late.

The captured PTY output is also the only place the compiler's error
text lives, since `script` merges stderr into it, so the failure
path now falls back to stdout when stderr is empty.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

Linux PTY execution now returns the underlying compact exit status. Compilation errors use captured stdout when stderr is empty. An integration test verifies diagnostic logging and CompilationError propagation.

Changes

Compilation error handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
PTY status and diagnostic propagation
packages/builder/src/services/CompilerService.ts, packages/builder/src/Compiler.ts, packages/builder/test/Compiler.test.ts
Linux uses script -qec to propagate the child exit status. Compilation errors fall back to cleaned stdout when stderr is empty. The test verifies logging and rejection with CompilationError.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 027db

The change correctly targets compiler failure propagation and error visibility, and no actionable merge-blocking risk remains; focused PTY-path coverage can be added as routine follow-up.

Poem

A rabbit sees the PTY run
Its child status now returns true
When stderr has no words
stdout carries the clue
Compilation errors hop through anew

1175-1180: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add focused PTY coverage.

testMockExec is injected into CompilerService, so compileFile uses execFn and bypasses spawnWithPty. This test does not check the script -qec arguments or non-zero close handling and can pass after a regression to script -qc. Add a service-level test for the PTY path.
