How to print FULL stacktrace of exception w/ line #?

The ruby interpreter prints out a full trace of the exception.

However, all the expection I got is an one line message. I need to know
where the exception happened in my code. I don’t mind it is verbose.

begin

Math.sqrt (-1)
rescue => e
puts e.inspect
end

e only prints out a message.

Am I missing anything real simple?

Thanks

Don’t rescue it, full stack trace! :stuck_out_tongue:

In the situation, I want to rescue, and run some other logic, since I
don’t want the whole class to die.

You can check utilrb’s #full_message at
http://www.laas.fr/~sjoyeux/darcs/utilrb/lib/utilrb/exception/full_message.rb

(utilrb is also available as a gem on rubyforge :))

I miss Java.

I run into this kind of short sighted decision far too often with Ruby.
Ugh.

Ruby removes in-betweeen lines if a backtrace is ‘too long’. The limit is
not configurable, so it you have long backtraces (and if you need what is
in the middle) you’re fucked.

You can get that information when you rescue the exception -
Exception#backtrace is an array of caller information.

Yes, so I had to rescue all exceptions in all threads I spawn to have a
proper backtrace (even more so since with abort_on_exception the
exception
is not shown /at all/).

Sometimes it drived me crazy …

You might be able to rewrite the Thread.new method and have it catch and
display exceptions (and raise them).

e.backtrace works fine for me. In my case, I don’t need traces in the
middle.

Thanks for all the help!

Friends i want to write backtrace inside teardown method but i am
unable to get the syntax. Here is the script that i have

def teardown
if @check==1
$driver.close
puts “passed if condition”
else
puts “passed else condtion”
$driver.save_screenshot(‘IM.png’)
sleep 3
#------ i want to put backtrace here—
$driver.switch_to.default_content
sleep 1
puts “Switched back from Iframe”

$driver.find_element(:name, “headerForm:logoutLink”).click
puts “User successfully logged out”
sleep 2

$driver.close
puts “test case passed”

  assert_equal [], @verification_errors
  $driver.save_screenshot('IM.png')
puts "test case failed"

end

end

“caller” will return the stack trace as an array. For example:

 puts caller

will print out the stack trace with file names, line numbers, and method
names.

If you need to rescue an exception, you at least need a “rescue”
clause[1].

For example:

def teardown

rescue => e
puts e.backtrace
end

i have used this
def teardown

rescue => e
puts e.backtrace
end

It is showing exception as un defined method backtrace

can we use rescue inside teardown and that too without “begin”

only puts caller is enough to get the failed element, or anything extra
needed

Allow me to summarize this conversation:

  1. You asked how to get a stack trace
  2. I provided two methods, one using “caller” and the other getting the
    stack trace from an exception
  3. You said you tried to use my code but got an error
  4. I asked for how you tried my code and what the error looked like
  5. You gave me your code WITHOUT any modifications or the error
    mentioned in step 3. However, you did ask a different question, how to
    get a “failed element” in the teardown method
  6. I didn’t see your different question, all I saw was that you didn’t
    have “caller”, “rescue”, or “backtrace” anywhere in the code. So I
    requested the code that included one of these.
  7. You gave me the output of running the webdriver code
  8. Since we seem to be working at different problems, I wrote this list.

Going back to 6, I see what you want has to do with getting information
from webdriver about a failure. You shouldn’t do this in the teardown
method, though, that’s for resetting application state.

However, the information you need is right in the messages output from
webdriver. So at this point I don’t know what you want and we are back
to the beginning.

At this point, I am going to bed. I hate to do this, but I’m going to
have to direct you to How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
and in particular
