Get "Last Message" during rescue inside a GenServer
There is a very useful error log that prints if I don’t recuse an exception from within a GenServer.
GenServer {[GENSERVER NAME HERE]} terminating
...
Last message (from #PID[PID HERE]): [ARGS TO THE HANDLE CALL HERE]
State: [GENSERVER STATE HERE]
I’ve dug around the elixir code base but can’t find how {'** Generic server ' ++ _, [name, last, state, reason | client]} is getting set in elixir/lib/logger/lib/logger.ex. Most importantly I want last (which is [ARGS TO THE HANDLE CALL HERE]) for my own logging purposes. Hoping someone has a way to access this in the recuse block of a try and not an answer that involves somehow storing the message args from the handle_call function…

There is no other way than storing that message on your own.

There is no other way than storing that message on your own somehow. If you want to show this as a part of log message then you put that information into logger metadata.
The
gen_serverloop in highly simplified form does exactly that (in Elixir for clarity):Last Post!
