971 """Humanized failures"" should still have a traceback, hidden by default" davidsarah davidsarah "Currently, failures that occur in a WUI operation (that is, a webapi operation with HTML output) go through [source:src/allmydata/web/common.py#L149 humanize_failure] in {{{web/common.py}}}, in order to produce a more informative error message.

A traceback can be obtained from a {{{twisted.python.failure.Failure}}} object using:
{{{
from StringIO import StringIO
sfile = StringIO()
f.printTraceback(sfile) # or printDetailedTraceback
sfile.flush()
... sfile.getvalue() ...
}}}
