[R] Automatic traceback
I would like to have an automatic traceback printed on error. Is there a way to do this? options(error=traceback) seems to print the previous error, not the current error. I'm guessing this is because the traceback is not set until the error handler is done running. options(error=traceback) stop(1) Error: 1 No traceback available stop(2) Error: 2 1: stop(1) stop(3) Error: 3 1: stop(2) I am using R version 2.6.0 (2007-10-03). -- Michael Hoffman __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.

Yes. .Traceback is written immediately before the jump to toplevel, to allow e.g. try() to recover from the problem. options(error=traceback) stop(1) Error: 1 No traceback available stop(2) Error: 2 1: stop(1) stop(3) Error: 3 1: stop(2) I am using R version 2.6.0 (2007-10-03). There is a compact traceback printed automatically in non-interactive use, and you can turn that on by the following options 'showWarnCalls', 'showErrorCalls': a logical. Should warning and error messages show a summary of the call stack? By default error calls are shown in non-interactive sessions. -- Brian D.

Is there a way to get something slightly more verbose? -- Michael Hoffman __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
