Is is possible to detect what file and line from which a function was called?

[Trevor Vaughan]

Hoping to use this for logging purposes.

I can get it from a custom type, but I don't seem to be able to snag this information from a function.

Thanks,

Trevor

All,

Please disregard, the answer is source.file and source.line and works MUCH better if you're not testing a function outside of a manifest set ;-).

Thanks,

Trevor

That is not the same as where a function is called from, it is container
from which the evaluated code makes a call from.

For 4.x we have a ticket to make calling location available.

Question is: for what purpose is this needed? For errors? or for other
purposes?

Using it for filling in file names and line numbers in the resources created by a function (like create_resources) seems like a good use case.

That is the main use case, yes.

I would love to be able to add some extra data to my debug messages to help people along the way. This would prevent my debugging from needing to deliberately fail to figure out where things are going wrong.

Thanks,

Trevor
