NAME

       Test2::EventFacet::Trace - Debug information for events

DESCRIPTION

       The Test2::API::Context object, as well as all Test2::Event types need to have access to information
       about where they were created.  This object represents that information.

SYNOPSIS

           use Test2::EventFacet::Trace;

           my $trace = Test2::EventFacet::Trace->new(
               frame => [$package, $file, $line, $subname],
           );

FACET FIELDS

       $string = $trace->{details}
       $string = $trace->details()
           Used  as  a  custom  trace  message that will be used INSTEAD of "at <FILE> line <LINE>" when calling
           "$trace->debug".

       $frame = $trace->{frame}
       $frame = $trace->frame()
           Get the call frame arrayref.

               [$package, $file, $line, $subname]

       $int = $trace->{pid}
       $int = $trace->pid()
           The process ID in which the event was generated.

       $int = $trace->{tid}
       $int = $trace->tid()
           The thread ID in which the event was generated.

       $id = $trace->{cid}
       $id = $trace->cid()
           The ID of the context that was used to create the event.

       $uuid = $trace->{uuid}
       $uuid = $trace->uuid()
           The UUID of the context that was used to create the event. (If uuid tagging was enabled)

       ($pkg, $file, $line, $subname) = $trace->call
           Get the basic call info as a list.

       @caller = $trace->full_call
           Get the full caller(N) results.

       $warning_bits = $trace->warning_bits
           Get index 9 from the full caller info. This is the warnings_bits field.

           The value of this is not portable across perl versions or even processes.  However it can be used  in
           the process that generated it to reproduce the warnings settings in a new scope.

               eval <<EOT;
               BEGIN { ${^WARNING_BITS} = $trace->warning_bits };
               ... context's warning settings apply here ...
               EOT

   DISCOURAGED HUB RELATED FIELDS
       These   fields   were   not   always   set  properly  by  tools.  These  are  MOSTLY  deprecated  by  the
       Test2::EventFacet::Hub facets. These fields are not required, and may  only  reflect  the  hub  that  was
       current  when  the  event  was  created,  which is not necessarily the same as the hub the event was sent
       through.

       Some tools did do a good job setting these to the correct hub, but you cannot always rely  on  that.  Use
       the 'hubs' facet list instead.

       $hid = $trace->{hid}
       $hid = $trace->hid()
           The ID of the hub that was current when the event was created.

       $huuid = $trace->{huuid}
       $huuid = $trace->huuid()
           The UUID of the hub that was current when the event was created. (If uuid tagging was enabled).

       $int = $trace->{nested}
       $int = $trace->nested()
           How deeply nested the event is.

       $bool = $trace->{buffered}
       $bool = $trace->buffered()
           True  if  the  event  was buffered and not sent to the formatter independent of a parent (This should
           never be set when nested is 0 or "undef").

METHODS

       Note: All facet frames are also methods.

       $trace->set_detail($msg)
       $msg = $trace->detail
           Used to get/set a custom trace message that will be used INSTEAD of  "at  <FILE>  line  <LINE>"  when
           calling "$trace->debug".

           detail() is an alias to the "details" facet field for backwards compatibility.

       $str = $trace->debug
           Typically  returns  the  string  "at  <FILE>  line <LINE>". If "detail" is set then its value will be
           returned instead.

       $trace->alert($MESSAGE)
           This issues a warning at the frame (filename and line number where errors should be reported).

       $trace->throw($MESSAGE)
           This throws an exception at the frame (filename and line number where errors should be reported).

       ($package, $file, $line, $subname) = $trace->call()
           Get the caller details for the debug-info. This is where errors should be reported.

       $pkg = $trace->package
           Get the debug-info package.

       $file = $trace->file
           Get the debug-info filename.

       $line = $trace->line
           Get the debug-info line number.

       $subname = $trace->subname
           Get the debug-info subroutine name.

       $sig = trace->signature
           Get a signature string that identifies this trace. This is used  to  check  if  multiple  events  are
           related. The signature includes pid, tid, file, line number, and the cid.
