similar to: Automatic traceback

Hi, I wonder how to have R automatically print stack trace produced by traceback upon errors during interactive uses. I tried the suggestions on http://old.nabble.com/Automatically-execute-traceback-when-execution-of-script-causes-error--td22368483.html#a22368775 and used options(error = recover) options(showErrorCalls = T) It just produces an extra message like "recover called

Hi I am using R scripts which are running remotely. To make debugging easier, I would like to have the possibility to execute traceback() automatically when an error occurs. Is this possible?

I would like to be able to do something like this: <<echo=F,fig=T,width=mywidth>>= ... @ with mywidth set in a previous code chunk. Is there a way to do this in Sweave? (Sorry for two questions in a row, I have been saving these up.) -- Michael

I've posted a patch to bugs.r-project.org that fixes the traceback() issue. It's not specific to findFun3; you get the same problem with errors from expressions like 1 + "a" In my testing, I occasionally saw cases where show.error.locations = TRUE didn't work. I'll try to track down a reproducible case, and perhaps a patch to fix it. Duncan Murdoch On

I am using R 2.4.0 and lattice to produce some xyplots conditioned on a factor and a shingle. The shingle merely chops up the data along the x-axis, so it is easy to identify which part of the shingle a panel is in by looking at the x-axis markings. I only want to have a strip at the top for the factor. Is this possible? I looked into calculateGridLayout() and it seems to me that there

Consider this plot: xyplot(mpg ~ disp | cyl, mtcars, strip=F, strip.left=T, layout=c(1, 3), scales=list(relation="free"), par.settings=list(strip.background=list(col="transparent"))) I want to have the "cyl" strip labels on the left side of the axis. Is this possible? Failing that, is it possible to remove the left axis and display it on the right

Sorry, I'm not seeing the first problem now: options(show.error.locations = TRUE) works fine. Not sure what I did wrong before. I'm still seeing `traceback()` failing to report the attempt to call nofunction(). I suppose this is because a context is never set up for the failed call. Perhaps findFun3 could set up a fake context so that traceback() adds one more entry? Duncan

Thanks for pointing out the options. Using options(show.error.locations = TRUE) works on Ivo's example, but it doesn't show a location if the error happens in a function that doesn't have srcrefs, because the known location isn't on the top of the stack. Perhaps TRUE (and maybe "top"?) should look back through the stack until it finds a known location, and

And now I've found the elusive bug in show.error.locations = TRUE as well, and posted a patch for that too. Back to the original topic of this thread: I think most users should routinely use options(show.error.locations = TRUE) e.g. in their .Rprofile. That will often speed up bug fixes, especially if my patch is incorporated. Duncan Murdoch On 2025-01-20 5:56 p.m., Duncan Murdoch

Hello, 1. The Situation : ------------------------ The stack traceback is not available when error ouccured in a try(....) -- test.R -------------------------------- f<-function(a){ return ( log(a) ) } try(f("A")) traceback() ------------------------------------------- I get the following message : > try(f("A")) Error in log(x) : Non-numeric argument to mathematical

Dear R experts---I may have asked this in the past, but I don't think I figured out how to do this. I would like to execute traceback() automatically if my R program dies---every R programI ever invoke. I guessed that I could have wrapped my entire R code into tryCatch( ... oodles of R code , error = function(e) traceback(), finally = cat("done") } but the traceback docs tell

Has something changed with traceback's in R-patched? When I running the examples for ?traceback, I get > foo <- function(x) { print(1); bar(2) } > bar <- function(x) { x + a.variable.which.does.not.exist } > foo(2) # gives a strange error [1] 1 Error in bar(2) : Object "a.variable.which.does.not.exist" not found > traceback() No traceback available

Hi! Is there a way to write the information stored in the .Traceback variable to a file? When I try it with dump() ".Traceback" <- list("dump(.Traceback, file = \"Mytraceback.R\")") Or there are other ways to write this information on the disk if an error occurs? Eryk

The addition of `.traceback` in r70207 adds one more function to the call stack when invoking `traceback()`.? This changes the output of one of the examples to include the error handler call: > options(error = function() traceback(2)) > foo(2) [1] 1 Error in bar(2) : object 'a.variable.which.does.not.exist' not found 3: (function () ?? traceback(2))() at #1 2: bar(2) at #1 1:

The tracebacks are compressed into a single line because we're using PyObject_Str, but they are just about usable if not very readable. For example you would see an error like this: nbdkit: error: ./python-exception.py: config_complete: error: ['Traceback (most recent call last):\n', ' File "./python-exception.py", line 54, in config_complete\n raise_error1()\n',

understood. but, please, consider not people like me but unwary beginners and students of R. I have used R now for decades, and even I am baffled by it. Couldn't you make R code easier to debug not only for people like me (who can indeed tweak their environments) but also for novice users?
