[ESS] ess-tracebug

[Timothy W. Hilton]

Hello,

I'm trying to integrate ess-tracebug into my ess workflow.  Using ess
12.09-2 [rev. 5395 (2013-01-10)], ess-tracebug is not behaving quite
like the documentation at
http://code.google.com/p/ess-tracebug/wiki/GettingStarted.

I realize ess-tracebug has been folded into ess since that documentation
was posted; is there more recent documentation I should be looking at?

I activate ess-tracebug from my .emacs like this:

(load "/opt/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/ess/lisp/ess-site")
(setq ess-use-tracebug t)
(add-hook 'ess-post-run-hook 'ess-tracebug t)
(setq ess-tracebug-prefix "\M-t" )

Sourcing the test.R file linked from the wiki above produces errors as
expected, but ess does not highlight the source line as depicted in the
screenshot.  In addition, only a subset of the ess functions shown here
seem to be available: http://code.google.com/p/ess-tracebug/#Keys

For example, ess-dbg-source-current-file is not available (I wondered if
I needed to source my code that way to properly get ess-tracebug going).

Is this the expected behavior these days?

Many many thanks to the ess developers for making this great tool
available!

Thanks,
Tim
