Hi!
Has anyone experienced that stack traces are missing when exceptions
are raised in plugin code? We started having this issue when upgrading
from Rails 2.1 to Rails 2.3.2. If I move the code into the application
I get the stack trace back. Any ideas what could be causing this? How
is Rails interfering with the the stack trace? Any pointers would be
appreciated.

Thanks!

I can't replicate this here - I created a dummy class in a plugin,
with a method that raised an exception, then called that method in a
controller method from the app. I see the stack track in the response.

Sorry, I hadn't seen the new BackTraceCleaner class and I was
enlightened by a friend about this post:

I'm not sure cleaning out plugin backtraces is a good default setting
though as others are bound to have debugging nightmares similar to
mine. I have never been too bothered by long stacktraces Rails, but I
suppose since this feature was introduced, a lot of people have.

Cheers

Peter
