No such line

A code block’s first line asks Statac to mark a line that the block doesn’t have, as mark=15 does on a block of 12 lines. Or a template asks file.code for a line that isn’t there: from or to past the file’s last line, or a line to mark that isn’t among the lines shown.

What you’ll see

warning  No such line: this block has no line 4
  content/post-1.md, line 1
   1 │ ```rust mark=4
     │         ^^^^^^
  The block's last line is 3.

Why Statac warns

The block is still worth publishing, so Statac publishes it. It marks the lines the block has and leaves out the numbers it hasn’t. For a file, it shows the lines up to the file’s last line. A number past the end usually means the code changed after the number was written, so the lines Statac marks may no longer be the ones you meant.

How to fix it

Count the lines again and correct the number. A block’s first line of code, the one after its opening fence, is line 1. A file’s lines keep their own numbers when from leaves some out: with from=10, the first line shown is line 10, and mark names lines by those numbers.

Example

In content/post-1.md:

```rust mark=4
fn main() {
    println!("Hello");
}
```

The block has three lines, and the line to mark is the second:

```rust mark=2
fn main() {
    println!("Hello");
}
```

Its name

Name	no-such-line
In the terminal	statac explain no-such-line
To stop showing it	quiet: [no-such-line] in statac.yaml, once you have understood it. Statac still counts it.
