Backtrace_Array

A Ruby gem to alter structure of a backtrace:

Original Backtrace:

[ String, String, String ]

New Array:

[ [ unique file 1, [ [line, code], [line, code], ... ] ] [ unique file 2, [ [line, code], [line, code], ... ] ] [ unique file 3, [ [line, code], [line, code], ... ] ]

]

This lets you present it in your views as:

  <b style="color: purple;">unique file 1</b>
  <b>line</b>: code
  <b>line</b>: code
  <b>line</b>: code

  <b style="color: purple;">unique file 2</b>
  <b>line</b>: code
  <b>line</b>: code
  <b>line</b>: code
  

Installation

gem install Backtrace_Array

Usage

require "Backtrace_Array"

begin
  raise
rescue Object => e
  Backtrace_Array $?.backtrace
end

# or ...
Backtrace_Array %~
  file1:1: in `new'
  file2:2: in `<main>'
  file3:3: in `eval'
~
