zsh debug tips ?

zsh debug tips ?

[Marc Chantreux]

Hi all,

as my zsh scripts grown, it becomes harder and harder to find bugs. I
would like to know if zsh have a tool to ease the debugging.

I would like to see a step by step execution, backtraces and so on. Is
there a way ro have it ? if not , is there another way to ease debugging
?

Hi,
     You probably already know about this, but you can set the XTRACE  
and VERBOSE options to get a better idea about what's happening  
either like this:

#!/bin/zsh -xv

or like this:

setopt XTRACE VERBOSE

I don't know of a zsh 'debugger' if that's more what you were looking  
for, but maybe someone else does.


Regards,
Ryan
