Can't work in child process

[yafeng520]

code of running in the child process

def run_child_process():
    exception_name = 'exception_in_child_process'
    raise Exception(exception_name)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    from multiprocessing import Process
    p = Process(target=run_child_process)
    p.start()
    p.join()

result

Seeing the same issue. I think this issue is across both better exceptions module and rich traceback too. It does not work across threads, and only works within the main thread

I had the same problem too. When using this with sse_starlette which runs tasks in TaskGroup it will not trace exceptions in the tasks, leaving me frustrated for hours because of unable to find anything useful in the traceback.

I want to know if any library can handle exceptions in separate thread.

Eh yeah, this is to be expected. There's nothing magic that we're doing here. You'd have to re-initialize better-exceptions in each thread/child process you're spawning. They're going to behave as though they're fresh processes.

Unless I'm missing something, this is expressly out of scope for the project :/ Sorry about that.
