While not all submitted ideas will be executed upon, community feedback will play a key role in influencing which ideas are and when they will be implemented.
Thanks!
I don't want to sound ungreatful, but this doesn't help at all - all additional displayed infos were already known :-|
What I expected for this code
Dim doc As NotesDocument
Msgbox doc.form(0)
was something like "Object Variable Not Set: doc" (ideal would be also the variant's type)
🫣
Love it!
Finally :-)
Please make this happend also that is equally a pain point for troubleshooting

This is so good! Thank you!
Thanks!
FIVE YEARS of stubborn ignorance. They do not give a shit for the very basics in this product.
There should be a new LS version that is based on Eclipse and JVM. This would allow for stack traces, state of the art editing, try-catch-blocks, mixed language programming, multi-threading, easier debugging, ...
The line number is superfluous in the message, for this there is Erl.
<NameOfVariable> is also needed for "Variant does not contain object" and "Type mismatch".
Could we also have "Entry not found in Index" report back in a similar way? We need more information on what object caused the error
I created a framework for that (error handling, logging, tracing, unit testing) https://github.com/dev-ng/ls-dl
Didn't update it on github for a while as I don't see much interest.
We can make a stacktrace with linenumbers ourself, but it would be nice if all developers was using the same kind of error handling - and this requires better native support.
Create a public function:
'caveats
'Getthreadinfo( 2 )/Getthreadinfo( 11 ) only works when running on a server
'Typename( me ) gives the classname of the initated class - even if the error occurced in another level
Dim session As New NotesSession
Dim module As String
If session.IsOnServer Then module = ", module: " & Getthreadinfo( 11 )
Dim object As String
Select Case Typename( obj )
Case "STRING": object = obj
Case "NOTESAGENT": object = "agent: " & obj.name
Case Else
object = "class: " & Typename( obj )
End Select
If object <> "" Then object = ", " & object
getErrorInfo = Error & " " & Chr( 10 ) & Getthreadinfo( 10 ) & ", line: " & Erl & object & module
End Function
Now include error handling like shown below in ALL subs/functions/methods - and you will have a nice StackTrace :-)
Function foo()
On Error Goto EH
'<Your code here>
EH:
Error Err, getErrorInfo( Me )
End Function
Sub foo()
On Error Goto EH
'<Your code here>
EH:
Error Err, getErrorInfo( "" )
End Sub
Sub Initialize()
On Error Goto EH
Dim session As New NotesSession
'<Your code here>
EH:
Error Err, getErrorInfo( session.CurrentAgent )
End Sub
Addition to the showing the Error Message when error occurs, Error Number, Error Line Number, Function / Subroutine Name / Design Element Name in which the code exist would be useful.. Similar to Error Stack Trace in C# dotNet were complete details of Error is displayed. This will save lot of time in tracking the root cause of the Error messages
