DebugFnE: Capture arguments and environment of exception throwing...

In WinVector/wrapr: Wrap R Tools for Debugging and Parametric Programming

Capture arguments and environment of exception throwing function call for later debugging.

Description

Run fn, save arguments, and environment on failure. Please see: vignette("DebugFnW", package="wrapr").

Usage

DebugFnE(saveDest, fn, ...)

Arguments

saveDest	where to write captured state (determined by type): NULL random temp file, character temp file, name globalenv() variable, and function triggers callback.
fn	function to call
...	arguments for fn

Value

fn(...) normally, but if fn(...) throws an exception save to saveDest RDS of list r such that do.call(r$fn,r$args) repeats the call to fn with args.

Examples

saveDest <- paste0(tempfile('debug'),'.RDS')
f <- function(i) { (1:10)[[i]] }
# correct run
DebugFnE(saveDest, f, 5)
# now re-run
# capture error on incorrect run
tryCatch(
   DebugFnE(saveDest, f, 12),
   error = function(e) { print(e) })
# examine details
situation <- readRDS(saveDest)
str(situation)
# fix and re-run
situation$args[[1]] <- 6
do.call(situation$fn, situation$args, envir=situation$env)
# clean up
file.remove(saveDest)
