Log errors to file

[Jonathan Hayward]

I'm working on a view made to output JSON for Ajax use. My log has:

[07/Jul/2010 17:47:13] "POST /ajax/login HTTP/1.1" 500 50678

That looks like Django gave a helpful and detailed stacktrace page, albeit to jQuery expecting JSON.

How can I ask Django to log uncaught exceptions to a file or equivalent? The test server has no MTA so I can't really ask it to email me exceptions.

TIA,

You could implement a middleware class with a process_exception
method. See: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/middleware/#process_exception

If there is a "human in the loop", you can use the Firebug extension
on Firefox to monitor requests and responses made via AJAX. I look at
Django 500 pages through Firebug all the time. ;-)

I have created a decorator for Django views which handles AJAX
tracebacks and sends the traceback back to the AJAX application as
JSON, e.g.

{'status':'error', 'message': <traceback goes here>}

It uses the traceback module to output the full traceback. Obviously
you need to have a handler that receives this data and displays in on
the page (although you can inspect it in firebug).

If you'd like the code for it, I can ask my company whether they'd be
happy with me publishing it.

Cheers, Euan

That's something that would be nice to have as a snippet on
djangosnippets.org!

I'm interested and I doubt I'm the only one.
