Bad interaction with utils::dump.frames()

[MLopez-Ibanez]

My package uses:

utils::dump.frames(dumpto = "iracedump", to.file = TRUE, include.GlobalEnv = TRUE)

when finding a non-recoverable error in non-interactive mode to help debugging. However, when running under testthat and loading the file in the debugger(), it only shows:

Message:  Error: Test failures
Available environments had calls:
1: .GlobalEnv
2: test_check("irace")
3: test_dir("testthat", package = package, reporter = reporter, ..., load_pack
4: test_files(test_dir = path, test_paths = test_paths, test_package = package
5: test_files_serial(test_dir = test_dir, test_package = test_package, test_pa
6: test_files_check(reporters$list$get_results(), stop_on_failure = stop_on_fa
7: stop("Test failures", call. = FALSE)
8: (function () 
{
    execDir <- getOption(".irace.execdir")
    if (!is.null(ex

I wonder if there is anything that can be done to save the actual environments of the failed test.

Probably, but unfortunately since you're the only person who has ever requested this, and it's likely to be a lot of hard work to figure it out, we don't have the development resources to tackle at this time.
