Hi there, So my application is basically a lightweight IDE for IronRuby, built in C#, with the idea that users should be able to quickly edit and prototype ruby scripts. Part of the application's requirements is to have the ability to handle compilation/syntax errors and runtime exceptions, as well as the ability to 'jump to' the source of errors.
At the moment, I'm wrapping CreateScriptSourceFromFile, Compile and Execute within a try/catch. Syntax errors are easily handled with a custom ErrorListener passed into ScriptSource.Compile. Handling runtime errors though are a little bit more tricky; the easiest way I've found so far involves RubyExceptionData.GetInstance and a linq expression to parse the backtrace with regexes. Not the most elegant solution, but it works. However, one area where this method falls flat is when the error occurs in a thread created within the script itself; execution is now outside the try/catch, so I'm not able to catch the Exception object. Futhermore, nothing seems to happen when the error does occur; nothing gets written to the errorstream, nor is there any indication of any error. It seems like the only way to handle these thread errors is to do it within the script using a begin-rescue block. My question is, is there an easier way to get runtime error information other than RubyExceptionData? Additionally, what is the best way to handle errors when they occur in a thread other than the one which calls Execute()? It would be handy to be able to set some sort of global 'ErrorListener', or perhaps have the ability to pass in such an object to the call to Execute.
