All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.
- Add UnwrapFrame function to extract a single frame from an error. You can use this to implement your own trace formatting logic.
- Support extracting trace frames from custom errors.
Any error value that implements
TracePC() uintptr
will now contribute to the trace. - cmd/errtrace:
Add
-no-wrapn
option to disable wrapping with genericWrapN
functions. This is only useful for toolexec mode due to tooling limitations. - cmd/errtrace:
Experimental support for instrumenting code with errtrace automatically
as part of the Go build process.
Try this out with
go build -toolexec=errtrace pkg/to/build
.
- cmd/errtrace: Don't exit with a non-zero status when
-h
is used. - cmd/errtrace: Don't panic on imbalanced assignments inside defer blocks.
This release adds support to the CLI for using Go package patterns like ./...
to match and transform files.
You can now use errtrace -w ./...
to instrument all files in a Go module,
or errtrace -l ./...
to list all files that would be changed.
- cmd/errtrace: Support Go package patterns in addition to file paths.
Use
errtrace -w ./...
to transform all files under the current package and its descendants.
- cmd/errtrace: Print a message when reading from stdin because no arguments were given. Use '-' as the file name to read from stdin without a warning.
This release contains minor improvements to the errtrace code transformer allowing it to fit more use cases.
-
cmd/errtrace: Add -l flag to print files that would be changed without changing them. You can use this to build a check to verify that your code is instrumented.
-
cmd/errtrace: Support opt-out on lines with a
//errtrace:skip
comment. Optionally, a reason may be specified alongside the comment. The command will print a warning for any unused//errtrace:skip
comments.if err != nil { return io.EOF //errtrace:skip(io.Reader expects io.EOF) }
- Lower
go
directive in go.mod to 1.20 to allow use with older versions.
- Add a README.md to render alongside the API reference.
Introducing errtrace, an experimental library that provides better stack traces for your errors.
Install the library with:
go get braces.dev/[email protected]
We've also included a tool that will automatically instrument your code with errtrace. In your project, run:
go install braces.dev/errtrace/cmd/[email protected]
git ls-files -- '*.go' | xargs errtrace -w
