Posted on stackoverflow but no traction yet: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12942505/why-does-using-set-trace-func-work-in-some-places-but-cause-unexpected-return-l
The following is a generified part of the code in a gem I'm working on: module SomeModule class << self attr_accessor :procedure def log_events(*args) args.flatten! if args.size == 1 eval "set_trace_func proc {|event, file, line, id, binding, classname| begin; SomeModule.procedure.call(event, file, line, id, binding, classname) if event == #{args[0].inspect}; rescue SystemExit, Interrupt; raise; rescue Exception; end}" elsif args.size > 1 eval "set_trace_func proc {|event, file, line, id, binding, classname| begin; SomeModule.procedure.call(event, file, line, id, binding, classname) if #{args.inspect}.include?(event); rescue SystemExit, Interrupt; raise; rescue Exception; end}" else # ... end end end end SomeModule.procedure = lambda {|event, file, line, id, binding, classname| puts "#{event} #{file}.#{line} #{binding} #{classname} #{id}"} When I then call: SomeModule.log_events 'call', 'return' just before the configure block in my Rails app's `config/environments/development.rb`, it works fine and continues to work. But, when I call it in `app/controllers/application_controller.rb` above or below the class definition, Rails dies during autoloading in activesupport-3.2.8/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:469 due to an unexpected return (LocalJumpError). Here is the log: return /path/to/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194@some_app_gemset/gems/railties-3.2.8/lib/rails/initializable.rb.30 #<Binding:0x007ff7b1403d40> Rails::Initializable::Initializer run return
