So I am constantly "losing" my tracebacks when my defer's callbacks
throw exceptions that aren't caught. When I get an uncaught exception
(caught via twisted.log.addObserver()) I am basically storing the
Failure instance and then later, when it's safe for me to do so,
calling fail.raiseException() - but the Failure's 'tb' property is None.
I traced this down to the code in Deferred._runCallbacks() which does
a try: / except: with::
self.result = failure.Failure()
Seems like this code should say::
exc_type, exc_value, exc_traceback = sys.exc_info()
self.result = failure.Failure(exc_value, exc_type, exc_traceback)
I'm dealing with two issues:
1) trying to generically log stack traces that happen
2) provide sane stack traces to my team who is fairly new to twisted
I can see how this might possibly leak if the tracebacks are holding
onto references to local variables or something, but maybe
cleanFailure() fixes that? I don't know.
