-------------------------------------

             Summary: Let InvalidReferenceException contain x.toString() of x.missing
                 Key: FREEMARKER-78
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FREEMARKER-78
             Project: Apache Freemarker
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: engine
    Affects Versions: 2.3.26-incubating
            Reporter: Ondra Žižka
            Priority: Minor


It would be quite useful if the following contained {{techTag.toString()}}:

{quote}
FreeMarker template error (DEBUG mode; use RETHROW in production!):
The following has evaluated to null or missing:
==> techTag.title  [in template "reports/templates/techReport-boxes.ftl" at line 133, column 59]

Java stack trace (for programmers):
----
freemarker.core.InvalidReferenceException: [... Exception message was already printed; see it above ...]
	at freemarker.core.InvalidReferenceException.getInstance(InvalidReferenceException.java:134)
	at freemarker.core.EvalUtil.coerceModelToTextualCommon(EvalUtil.java:465)
{quote}

If it doesn't, I need to write a logging line, rebuild the project, and run again. Or debug. Neither is short :) So this would save quite some time in development cycle.

Thanks for considering.
