Better error messages / how to turn on validation about wgpu-py HOT 8 CLOSED

Ah; looks like I'm at least missing #96. Anything else?

from wgpu-py.

Additionally it's (now) VK_INSTANCE_LAYERS="VK_LAYER_KHRONOS_validation"

from wgpu-py.

This is indeed a problem. Usually setting the RUST_BACKTRACE does not help much, because the additional info is not that useful. Getting #96 should help, especially since the eventual goal of wgpu-native is to validate everything and never panic. Because it's supposed to run from a browser too ;)

So yeah, the situation w.r.t. error messages is far from great now, but it will definitely get better over time!

from wgpu-py.

Now that #96 is closed and released, are we in a better shape here?

from wgpu-py.

We're indeed in much better shape. But it would help if we also are able to select the debug version instead of release. That should turn on the Vulkan validation layers. So let's leave this open to track that.

Well, at least in development we can already do that. At runtime you could do it with the environment variable.

But we could make it easier, by including it in the package.

Yeah, since we do ship the debug library (we do, right?) I think it would be nice to provide a way to use these without having to know the file path. Perhaps setting the env variable to "debug".

We don't, but I'll make it happen :) It's not very hard
