Background
I have an app that is printing the following error every 2 or 3 seconds:
=ERROR REPORT==== 14-Jun-2019::14:31:35.089496 ===
Unexpected message: {#Ref<0.2607974300.3493068808.175359>,badarg}
I want to find out it’s source.
Error
To catch the process responsible, I am using recon_trace the following way (an example follows):
:recon_trace.calls({:system_information, :handle_info, fn({_ref, :badarg}, _state) -> :ok end}, 10)
However this is failing with the following error:
:recon_trace.calls({:system_information, :handle_info, fn({_ref, :badarg}, _state) -> :ok end}, 10)
Error: dbg:fun2ms requires fun with single variable or list parameter
** (CaseClauseError) no case clause matching: {:error, :transform_error}
(recon) src/recon_trace.erl:494: :recon_trace.validate_tspec/3
(recon) src/recon_trace.erl:424: :recon_trace."-trace_calls/3-lc$^0/1-0-"/2
(recon) src/recon_trace.erl:426: :recon_trace.trace_calls/3
I am quite confused here. My interpretation of the documentation suggests this should be possible, based on the following sample (in erlang):
All calls to
iolist_to_binary/1made with a binary as an argument already (kind of useless conversion!):recon_trace:calls({erlang, iolist_to_binary, fun([X]) when is_binary(X) -> ok end}, 10)
Question
What am I doing wrong?

You need to match on a list of argument in your match func. Similar to how you would specify a list in a MFA tuple.

This might work…

Yupp, as I edited it into my post seemingly at the same moment you posted as well
