Wrong error line number in repl

Original issue 162 created by laurentpetit on 2010-10-29T11:19:57.000Z:

I wonder if I do something wrong so I have this problem or everyone else is so smart so they can debug whole program without help of debugger or they write consice code, I guess :)

REPRODUCTION

1. Load a clj file that triggers some runtime error.
2. Error exception is shown into stderr for example: "java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: nth not supported on this type: Integer (dbcrud.clj:1)"
3. Keeping REPL running load file again. Now error is "java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: nth not supported on this type: Integer (dbcrud.clj:3)"

Complete content (with irrelevant output striped) of repl console view is attached.

Note that line numbers are incrementing with every attempt and seem to be relevant to REPL itself not original source file. So this error message is essentialy useless for error locating. So I have to resort to binary search guessing by commenting out pieces of code.

EXPECTED
Error message shows line number in original clojure file.

VERSION 0.0.64STABLE01

Actually I would like to see whole stack trace that correlates to clojure sources if possible but this is probably subject for other entancement request.

Ok. I found some workarounds for now.

1. Set exception breakpoint in debugger, restart repl, load file again.
2. Use clj-stacktrace.repl utility (http://github.com/mmcgrana/clj-stacktrace).

Other workaround: clojure.stacktrace namespace provides e function that shows recent exception.

Investigate to see whether this is still relevant with the new repl machinery

Invalid as of new REPL versions, IMHO
