Enable error return traces in release mode?

How do I enable error return traces in release mode?

2

Add .error_tracing = true to the exe part of the build script

const cli = b.addExecutable(.{
    .name = exe_name,
    .root_source_file = b.path("src/cli/main.zig"),
    .target = target,
    .optimize = optimize,
    .error_tracing = true,
});

that was actually the deprecated way of doing it. You should instead declare a root module and then an exe on top of it:

const cli_module = b.createModule(.{
    .optimize = optimize,
    .target = target,
    .error_tracing = true,
    .root_source_file = b.path("src/cli/main.zig"),
});
const cli = b.addExecutable(.{
    .name = exe_name,
    .root_module = cli_module,
});
