Question

I have an exception that’s not getting handled very well. I’m at a line in the debugger where I have the exception in hand, but it’s not in my code, so I can’t just log it at that point. So I’m sitting in the debugger with the exception in my variables window and I’m trying to figure out how to get the stack trace from it so i can find where the exception originated and handle it better.

Ideas?

Answer 1

In the Debug Perspective, show the Expressions View. Now you can add a expression of e.printStackTrace() where e is your variable.

Alternatively, you can change your expression to getStackTrace() and expand the StackTraceElement array in the Expressions output window.
