no WHALE_*_RGB consts found in

Error message

no WHALE_*_RGB consts found in {TOKENS_RS}

What it means

parse_tokens() requires at least one WHALE_*_RGB constant match in the tokens source file. If CONST_RE finds nothing, it exits with this message naming TOKENS_RS, because the exporter has nothing to convert.

Solutions

1. Confirm TOKENS_RS points at the right file containing pub const WHALE_*_RGB definitions
2. Restore the WHALE_*_RGB naming pattern or update CONST_RE to match the new format
3. Run the script from the repo root so the relative tokens.rs path resolves

Example fix

// before (tokens.rs)
const COLORS: [(u8,u8,u8); 1] = [(1,2,3)];
// after
pub const WHALE_BLUE_RGB: (u8, u8, u8) = (1, 2, 3);

import re
src = open(tokens_rs).read()
assert re.search(r"WHALE_\w+_RGB", src), "no WHALE_*_RGB consts found in tokens.rs"

When it happens

Trigger: Running the exporter when tokens.rs contains no constants matching the WHALE_*_RGB pattern — file moved/renamed, pattern changed, or file empty.

Common situations: Refactoring tokens.rs to a different naming scheme or file layout; wrong repo root when running the script (TOKENS_RS path no longer exists or is empty); regex drifted from the Rust source format.

Understand the failure class

Background: EmptyResultError / "no results found": when an API or scraper succeeds but returns zero rows — this error's family across 9 libraries.
