Json errors no longer being displayed (curses)

[Wad67]

Forgive me if this is a duplicate issue, or is already known in some way.

To reproduce, write a json mod that is bugged in some way.
Expected behavior: error message pertaining to bugged json file
Actual behavior: game hangs for a moment, then returns to title screen

This may be related to #20649

Could you write an example?

[Wad67]

Fairly sure this is the bugged piece of code, although I have no way of telling due to aforementioned issue.

[
{
"id": "tank_500ml",
"type": "vehicle_part",
"name": "vehicle tank (500ml)",
"item": "bottle_plastic",
"location": "fuel_source",
"symbol": "O",
"broken_color": "red",
"difficulty": 1,
"durability": 75,
"size": 500,
"damage_modifier": 80,
"breaks_into": [
{ "item": "plastic_chunk", "count": [ 2, 5 ] }
],
"extend": { "flags": [ "FOLDABLE", "TOOL_SCREWDRIVER" ] }
},
]

It worked as expected for me (I got the error). What's your OS?

[Wad67]

Windows 7 Ultimate x64.

Compiling with 'debug' target does the same thing.
Can currently only test terminal build, don't have SDL.

Just tried an sdl experimental build (6359) and it shows the error message fine.
The exact same curses build, does not show the error message.

#20061 and #20107 probably share the same cause.

They definitely show up in my linux builds, for mods.

[Wad67]

Just took the time to test this in linux also, both SDL and CURSES render the debugmsg just fine.

So that narrows the problem down to something related to the windows CURSES build.

Duplicate of #20061. Thanks for taking the time to test this out, copying over your notes to the main thread.
