Sender

rubygems.org/gems/sender

DESCRIPTION:

Adds :__sender__ and :__caller__ to the built-in :__callee__ and :__method__ methods in Ruby 1.9.1.

Also provides object-oriented :backtrace supporting n-levels backward, :each_backtrace_frame for iteration, :backtrace_includes?, and :backtrace_includes_one_of? for context inspection, and :backtrace_frame_with and :backtrace_frames_with, which return matching frame information for the frame(s) matching the given description.

SUMMARY:

Adds object-oriented backtrace, which returns :object, :method, :line, and :file for each stack frame,
and which permits queries regarding backtrace contents.

* __sender__
* __caller__
* backtrace
* backtrace( frames_to_trace_backward )
* each_backtrace_frame
* each_backtrace_frame( frames_to_trace_backward )
* backtrace_includes?( Class, class_instance, :symbol, {frame_hash}, ... )
* backtrace_includes?( frames_to_trace_backward, Class, class_instance, :symbol, {frame_hash}, ... )
* backtrace_includes_one_of?( Class, class_instance, :symbol, {frame_hash}, ... )
* backtrace_includes_one_of?( frames_to_trace_backward, Class, class_instance, :symbol, {frame_hash}, ... )
* backtrace_frame_with( Class, class_instance, :symbol, {frame_hash}, ... )
* backtrace_frame_with( frames_to_trace_backward, Class, class_instance, :symbol, {frame_hash}, ... )
* backtrace_frames_with( Class, class_instance, :symbol, {frame_hash}, ... )
* backtrace_frames_with( frames_to_trace_backward, Class, class_instance, :symbol, {frame_hash}, ... )

INSTALL:

* sudo gem install sender

These should be true:

true
These should be false:
false
false
false
false
false
And now we get a step by step backtrace
