1) LOGGING
|
|
Please remember that log files may contain plaintext passwords, etc.
|
|
|
|
Please do not add print statements - at least do not commit them to git
|
|
because in some environments printing to stdout causes errors
|
|
|
|
Instead use python logging this way:
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
#somewere on top of file
|
|
import logging
|
|
|
|
#anywhere below
|
|
logging.debug('this maybe works')
|
|
logging.error('have big error!')
|
|
#or even
|
|
logging.debug('') #this will add time, line number, function and file record
|
|
#sometimes useful record for call tracing on its own
|
|
#etc - take a look at http://docs.python.org/library/logging.html
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
in Askbot logging is currently set up in settings_local.py.dist
|
|
please update it if you need - in older revs logging strings have less info
|
|
|
|
messages of interest can be grepped out of the log file by module/file/function name
|
|
e.g. to take out all django_authopenid logs run:
|
|
>grep 'askbot\/django_authopenid' log/django.askbot.log | sed 's/^.*MSG: //'
|
|
in the example above 'sed' call truncates out a long prefix
|
|
and makes output look more meaningful
|
|
|
|
2) DJANGO DEBUG TOOLBAR
|
|
askbot works with django debug toolbar
|
|
if debugging under apache server, check
|
|
that debug toolbar media is loaded correctly
|
|
if toolbar is enabled but you do not see it, possibly some Alias statement
|
|
in apache config is wrong in your VirtualHost or elsewhere
|
|
|
|
3) If you discover new debugging techniques, please add here.
|
|
Possible areas to improve - at this point there is no SQL query logging,
|
|
as well as request data and http header.
