Here is a clojure webapp that you run and connect to another clojure process. When an exception happens, the stack trace will appear in the browser, and you can use a repl to examine things in the context of that stack frame. https://github.com/prismofeverything/schmetterling it is very young, but it works, and doesn't require emacs or even any change to the codebase you want to debug (except you need a dt_socket opened and you probably want to disable hotspot or your locals may get optimized away, making inspection more difficult -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
