Say what to press when Run was the wrong button - #30
Merged
Conversation
Twenty-two of the twenty-nine examples are libraries: a module of functions and test blocks, with no `main` to enter through. Pressing Run on any of them answered "no `main` found", in red, and stopped there. The compiler is right. The page was unhelpful: it offers four verbs equally for every file and then leaves the reader holding a refusal with no next step, which reads as the page being broken rather than as a fact about the file they picked. So the refusal now carries a line saying a file with no `main` is a library, and a button that runs its tests. The line is the page talking and is written as such; the compiler's own answer is above it, unchanged. Matched on the answer rather than on which example is loaded, so it holds for a program somebody wrote in the editor too, and it survives the compiler saying it at more length, which deed-lang/deed#789 does.
