If you do something like:

```julia
include("file_with_missing_dependency.jl")

```

you get a warning like:

```julia
ERROR: LoadError: LoadError: UndefVarError: SomeUnloadedVar not defined
Stacktrace:
 [1] include_from_node1(::String) at ./loading.jl:569
 [2] include(::String) at ./sysimg.jl:14
 ... // wherever you called include from

```

* * *

If you wrap the `include()` in a `try-catch`, you get some more information, namely:

```julia
cur_error = {
    "file" => "/Users/.../file_with_missing_dependency.jl",
    "line" => 42, # whatever line has "SomeUnloadedVar"
    "error" => {
        "var" => :SomeUnloadedVar
    }
}

```

* * *

Is there a way to get the stacktrace inside the file being loaded?

Like exactly how nested is that `42`.

Is it relatively decoupled like this:

```julia
41
42 dummy_var = SomeUnloadedVar.rand()
43

```

or the much more tangled scenario:

```julia
30 for i in 1:10
... dummy_var = ( 1 + 
41 SomeUnloadedVar.rand()
42 )
43 ... 

```

* * *

summarizing. would it be possible to find the line value of `30` in the above code block?
