Stack trace of errors to console when running bots-engine.py?

[clemper]

Hi,

Is it possible to get the stack trace of any errors printed directly to the console when running bots-engine.py ?  I have tried setting all possible debug flags to True in bots.ini and settings.py, but I just get a summary indicating that an error has occurred.  I then have to go to the web interface and browse to the error to see what went wrong.   

Thanks,

Chris Lemper

1. yes, bots-engine only indicates the results (handy if results are OK/as expected)
2. look in bots interface. For most errors, this is the most easy way.
3. look in bots/botssys/logging/engine.log; this is useful for more elaborate logging. As a lot is logged, this is not always handy.

Thanks for the reply.  It verifies my understanding.  It would be very useful to have an option to log errors directly to the console during development.  I am new to Python and Bots and unfortunately make a lot of mistakes.  It would greatly speed it up to not have to go to the UI, click, click, click, view to see the error.  I know it doesn't seem like a lot of effort but when you do it 20+ times in a row it adds up.  However, I do think tailing engine.log in a separate console is a reasonable solution.

Thanks,

Chris

go to menu:last run->incoming.
after another run press F5

it might be easier to run bots-engine from the commandline

hope that helps,
