"Trace" signal call, focused on form + id. API: [form] [id-or-opts form] => form's result (value/throw) (unconditional) Default kind: `:trace` Default level: `:info` (intentionally NOT `:trace`!) When conditions are met [1], creates a Telemere signal [2] and dispatches it to registered handlers for processing (writing to console/disk/db, etc.). Examples: (trace! (+ 1 2)) ; %> {:kind :trace, :level :info, :run-form '(+ 1 2), ; :run-val 3, :run-nsecs , :parent {:keys [id uid]} ... ; :msg "(+ 1 2) => 3" ...} (trace! ::my-id (+ 1 2)) ; %> {... :id ::my-id ...} (trace! {:let [x "x"] ; Available to `:data` and `:msg` :data {:x x}} (+ 1 2)) ; %> {... :data {x "x"}, :msg_ "My msg: x" ...} Tips: - Test using `with-signal`: (with-signal (trace! ...)). - Supports the same options as other signals [3]. - Identical to `spy!`, but focused on form + id rather than form + level. - Useful for debugging/monitoring forms, and tracing (nested) execution flow. - Execution of `form` arg may trigger additional (nested) signals. Each signal's `:parent` key will indicate its immediate parent. - Can be useful to wrap with `catch->error!`: (catch->error! ::error-id (trace! ...)). - Default level is `:info`, not `:trace`! The name "trace" in "trace signal" refers to the general action of tracing program flow rather than to the common logging level of the same name. ---------------------------------------- [1] See `help:signal-flow` docstring [2] See `help:signal-content` docstring [3] See `help:signal-options` docstring
