This does not add missing release notes, and it doesn't do anything about the profiles feature we would really like to have so we can have consistent credit. Change-Id: I72a6f7acfcff85f380be17dac76501a6f4693776

Previously, evaluating an expression that throws an error in the debugger would
|
|
enter a second, nested debugger:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
nix-repl> builtins.throw "what"
|
|
error: what
|
|
|
|
|
|
Starting REPL to allow you to inspect the current state of the evaluator.

Welcome to Nix 2.18.1. Type :? for help.
|
|
|
|
nix-repl>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now, it just prints the error message like `nix repl`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
nix-repl> builtins.throw "what"
|
|
error:
|
|
… while calling the 'throw' builtin
|
|
at «string»:1:1:
|
|
1| builtins.throw "what"
|
|
| ^
|
|
|
|
error: what
|
|
```
