StacTrace

How do you get a StackTrace when an exception occurs?

 

I have implement a logger inheriting from TDUnitXNullLogger

 

Got this in OnTestError

 

procedure TJPANUllLogger.OnTestError(const threadId: TThreadID;
  const Error: ITestError);
begin
  inherited;
  FCurrentTestItem.Error := True;
  FCurrentTestItem.StackTrace := Error.StackTrace;
  Codesite.SendFmtMsg('StackTrace %s',[Error.StackTrace]);
  Codesite.SendFmtMsg('Message %s',[Error.ExceptionMessage]);
  Codesite.SendFmtMsg('LocationInfo %s',[Error.ExceptionLocationInfo]);
  Codesite.SendFmtMsg('AddressInfo %s',[Error.ExceptionAddressInfo]);
end; 

ExceptionMessage is coming through, but not StackTrace

The StackTrace property is just a placeholder, it is always empty. There is no built-in way to get the stacktrace. Hard to believe, but here is what the official documentation says:

By default, StackTrace is always an empty string.

In order to use the StackTrace property to obtain the stack trace for exceptions, you have to use (or implement) a stack trace provider. There are a number of third-party solutions, both commercial and free.

Some of the stack trace providers are:

For more information on how to use some of the above third-party stack trace providers, see the following blog posts:

A few years ago, I used the Jedi Code library. After that, I completely removed the JCL from our products and since then, I am just using the "FastMM_FullDebugMode.dll" which exports a few handy methods that will give you the stack trace as a string list.

OK got it working. Needed to include 


{$I DUnitX.Stacktrace.inc}

 

Needed to be edited to enable MadExcept5

 

Also needed to add DUnitX.StackTrace.MadExcept5 to the project.
