[erlang-questions] Line numbers in escript errors?

[Danil Zagoskin]

Hi!

Do you use compile mode?
It gives much more meaningful stacktraces (especially when you specify
module name as well):

$ cat hello.escript
#!/usr/bin/env escript
-module(hello).
-mode(compile).

main(_) ->
  [1/X || X <- lists:seq(-5, 2)].


$ ./hello.escript
escript: exception error: an error occurred when evaluating an arithmetic
expression
  in function  hello:'-main/1-lc$^0/1-0-'/1 (./hello.escript, line 6)
  in call from hello:'-main/1-lc$^0/1-0-'/1 (./hello.escript, line 6)
  in call from escript:run/2 (escript.erl, line 758)
  in call from escript:start/1 (escript.erl, line 277)
  in call from init:start_em/1
  in call from init:do_boot/3
