Print stacktrace in Elixir #ElixirLang

When you are trying to debug something it is usually helpful to see the stacktrace of what called a function.

If you're inside of a try expression, and within the catch or rescue block, that's easy - use the __STACKTRACE__ Special Form.

try do
	# NOPE
rescue
  ArgumentError ->
    IO.puts("Stacktrace #{inspect(__STACKTRACE__)}")
catch
  value ->
    IO.puts("Stacktrace #{inspect(__STACKTRACE__)}")
else
  # NOPE
after
  # NOPE
end

For all other cases the incantation is a little more complicated (and if you don't think you can remember it, perhaps set up a snippet):

self()
|> Process.info(:current_stacktrace)
|> IO.inspect(label: "---------> stacktrace")
