smart_tracer v0.2.1 SmartTracer View Source

A simple wrapper for recon_trace.

Usage

When connected to a live remote console, issue the trace/2 passing the function reference and rate limit.

Tracing a global function

    iex> SmartTracer.trace(&FakeModule.hello/1, 5)
    1
    iex> FakeModule.hello("Vince")
    Elixir.SmartTracer.Support.FakeModule.hello/1 is being called with:
      ["Vince"]

Tracing a local function

    iex> SmartTracer.trace(&FakeModule.get_name/1, 5, scope: :local)
    1
    iex> FakeModule.hello("Vince")
    Elixir.SmartTracer.Support.FakeModule.get_name/1 is being called with:
      ["Vince"]

Tracing a function and getting it's return value (possible also for local tracing)

    iex> SmartTracer.trace(&FakeModulne.hello/1, 5, return: true)
    1
    iex> FakeModule.hello("Vince")
    Elixir.SmartTracer.Support.FakeModule.hello/1 is being called with:
      ["Vince"]
    Elixir.SmartTracer.Support.FakeModule.hello/1 returns:
      "Hello, my name is NAME-Vince"

Tracing a function and recording calls and returns

    iex> SmartTracer.trace(&FakeModulne.hello/1, 5, return: true, record: true)
    1

To playback all the recordings, use playback/0

    iex> SmartTracer.playback()
    [%SmartTracer.Utils.Recorder.Call{
      args: ["Vince"],
      arity: 1,
      function: :hello,
      module: SmartTracer.Support.FakeModule,
      type: :call
    },
    %SmartTracer.Utils.Recorder.Return{
      arity: 1,
      function: :hello,
      module: SmartTracer.Support.FakeModule,
      return_value: "Hello, my name is NAME-Vince",
      type: :return
    }]
