I join to advise by Michael from Sweden as to make it a proper
package, use byte-compiler messages and warnings first.
You could use M-x emacs-lisp-byte-compile to find various warnings and
that is also for debugging purposes.
What I often do is instrumenting the function for Edebug and using
xref package to move from function to function.
Here is the method:
1. First find the function which you suspect or wish to debug, or the
one which you are invoking.
2. Press C-u for prefix followed by C-M-x within the function. This
will instrument the function for Edebug.
3. Run the function to begin the process. Once instrumenting process
begins, click "n" for next and verify various values and how
function is executed. You will find out what is wrong.
4. If you see that function is calling other function where you think
that problem exists, instrument that other function as well.
5. To remove instrumentation use M-x edebug-remove-instrumentation and
remove functions which you don't want to inspect any more.
