Full stracktrace in ruby 1.9

[Freak Guard]

I'm getting stacktraces like:

expected Foo, got #<NoMethodError: undefined method `bar=' for
nil:NilClass>
spec/models/foobar_spec.rb:79:in `block (6 levels) in <top (required)>'

but it would be way more useful to get the 6 levels. How to enable that
globally?

add this somewhere:


at_exit {
puts "==== "
puts $!.backtrace.join("\n")
puts "===="
}

Though there are other options [1]

You could simply wrap the whole script or the offending region in begin
rescue.
