Re: Bug report: Extension DataTransfer

Hi Jeff,

Are you suggesting that the root cause is a problem with a dependency
provided by composer? Or are you trying to eliminate that as a possibility?

Is there anyway to turn on stack-trace dumping-on-warning or errors in
cases like these?  I know how to turn on debugging, but that doesn't
automatically generate stack traces on a crash.
