How to debug internal runtime error?

General Usage
, ,
1

Can anyone point me to how to find the source of a runtime error? Meaning, is there some tool I can use to interrogate this, like I would with @code_typed or a debugger, if it weren’t a runtime error?

I’m struggling to pin this one down enough to make an MWE.

The final non-inference line in the stack trace is the first line of the below function, but that function is widely used, so I don’t really see how that line could be causing the problem. Indeed, when I call that same function in the REPL, no error. Similarly, when I pull the offending line out of with_theme to be called in the same context as the original error, but just before I call with_theme (so Makie.current_default_theme() returns the same), the error still isn’t triggered until inside with_theme.

Other than following the stack trace and trying to create the same circumstances (which I’ve done as far as I can see), I’m at a loss.

Offending function:

function with_theme(f, theme = Theme(); kwargs...)
    previous_theme = Makie.current_default_theme()   ## offending line
    try
        set_theme!(theme; kwargs...)
        f()
    catch e
        rethrow(e)
    finally
        set_theme!(previous_theme)
    end
end

I’ve come to the maybe-obvious conclusion that the offending line is not actually the indicated one, but the following one, which involves the anonymous function f, and I’ve narrowed it down to which variable in which line of that anonymous function causes the error. That variable is itself a complicated anonymous function, so the search continues.

I also tried looking at the typed code of the call to with_theme (to see if code_typed would error, too) and get the error:

ERROR: LoadError: TypeError: in <:, expected Type, got a value of type TypeVar

Try Debugger.jl: @enter, you can execute it in a single step and see if it continues to trigger errors.

The way I understand to use Debugger, I don’t think that will work, since the error is occurring in the runtime compiler. To get the error to happen, I would need to enter compiled mode, but then I wouldn’t be able to stop right before the error either.

Maybe @aviatesk has an idea (since he has been working on the optimizer recently)?
