  • Utilizing "Application Trace" from error page in browser

    Not like rails-footnotes had it back when I last used it (which is probably 2010 time frame). For me, right now, when I click one of the lines in the Application Trace, it just changes the top box showing the piece of code that failed. Back in 2010, TextMate was the editor a lot of Rails developers used but I used emacs. The links from rails-footnotes had a scheme of something like txtmt: and I had to write things so that that scheme would be sent to Emacs and also Emacs code that knew what to do with it.
