All of Racket seems to be available while debugging GUIs. I can query state and launch new error-free dialogs while the GUI sits there with its broken dialog. I was thinking then that there might be some way to change the associated contract of the offending function while the GUI patiently waits for its next event.

Also it was type [A]...I made the mistake of calling the range of a function like "member" "boolean?".

The goal is to enter:

(set-contract! <function> (-> ... (listof symbol?))

and carry on.

I am not sure what you're asking.

it, you're stuck.

-- Did the contract error suggest

  [A] you formulated the wrong contract (the program is working but the 
contract is too stringent)
  [B] you program has a bug

Before you restart try to figure out which one is which and fix something.

Hello,

I'm debugging a heavily stateful GUI app that has reached a very specific state 
but has come across a contract error.  Is there some way to modify the contract 
and proceed or I must I reevaluate and run the gui and attempt to duplicate the 
state?
