[how about] Exceptions as first class objects *in Debugger*
Hi, we have this supercool exception handling mechanism, but as soon as we open a debugger the exception object is gone⦠I understand that we didnât need this in old times, but now with a moldable debugger, we could create hooks to allow exceptions to define how they should be addressed (and objects are really powerful). Cheers. Uko
Indeed this has bothered me a lot as well. At least an 'Inspect Exception' would be useful. It would also encourage people to put more useful information inside exception objects.

+1, with that information you could describe or show the cause of the exception On Sun, Nov 6, 2016 at 6:46 AM, Sven Van Caekenberghe <sven@stfx.eu> wrote:

+1 I had a prototype working at a certain point that send the exception to the debugger. I'll see if I can dig it up. It just involved chancing the API methods that open the debugger. Maybe a bit late for Pharo 6. On Sun, Nov 6, 2016 at 11:04 PM, Bernardo Ezequiel Contreras < vonbecmann@gmail.com> wrote:
