mason is already a great tool to develop packages. One thing that I find slows down my productivity is that if mason test fails to compile the tests, either for compilation error in the package under development or tests itself, it just prints "compilation failed" and I need to manualy run chpl test/mytestfile.chpl -M src/ to actually get the error message and debug the code.

As a demo, if I have the following file under my tests

use UnitTest;

proc test_simple(test : borrowed Test) throws {

    test.assertEqual(1, 1) // note semicolon missing
}

mason test will print
