StackTracePlus
Enhanced stack trace library for Lua that provides detailed debugging information including local variables and function names.
What is StackTracePlus?
StackTracePlus is a Lua library that provides enhanced stack traces for debugging purposes. It replaces the standard `debug.traceback` function with more detailed output that includes local variable values, attempts to identify function names, and provides better context for error locations. It solves the problem of uninformative stack traces that make debugging Lua applications difficult.
Lua developers working with Lua 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, LuaJIT, or OpenResty who need better debugging tools. This is particularly useful for developers maintaining complex Lua codebases where understanding error context is crucial.
Developers choose StackTracePlus because it provides significantly more debugging information than standard Lua stack traces without requiring complex setup. The ability to see local variable values and better function identification saves debugging time and makes error diagnosis more efficient.
Overview
StackTracePlus provides enhanced stack traces for Lua.
