Can you include the source text of test case you were running which resulted in this error.

[iposva-google]

Set owner to @peter-ahe-google.

==> foo.dart <==
#library('foo');
#import('foo_implementation.dart');

==> foo_implementation.dart <==
#library('foo_implementation');
#source('bar.dart');

==> bar.dart <==
class Bar {
  @­Override
  void foo() {}
}

dart_bin foo.dart gives me:

I had expected something like:

bar.dart:2:3: identifier expected
  @­Override
  ^

Or possibly:

bar.dart:2:3: identifier expected
  @­Override
  ^
foo_implementation.dart:2:1: sourced from here
#source('bar.dart');
^
foo.dart:2:1: imported from here
#import('foo_implementation.dart');
^

Issue #414 has been merged into this issue.

[iposva-google]

We should make sure to at least not limit the length of the message. When there is a very long hierarchy of imports we start cutting off the actual error.

Fixed a while ago (separate bug filed by floitsch). The errors are appended onto each other, so the first error is clearly visible in the beginning.

Added Fixed label.

Yay. This is very nice! Thank you.
