How do I debug mistelix

[adrian15]

Hi Mistelix mailing list,

I am going to explain how I debug mistelix. If it is good enough please
feel free to add this to the official documentation.

I suppose that mistelix has been built from source code and already
installed.

I open a terminal (I use konsole but gnome-terminal is also valid).
I set up the debug (I know that there is another file where I can set up
it but it's ok for me):
export MISTELIX_DEBUG=true

After that I run mistelix echoing the default output to a file
and the error output to another file:
mistelix > /tmp/output_ok.txt 2> /tmp/output_error.txt

Now look at this. I open two more terminal tabs in konsole and I write:

TAB 1:
tail -f /tmp/output_ok.txt
TAB 2:
tail -f /tmp/outuput_error.txt

This way I can see the output as it happens and at the same time
I have it already saved in a file.

There other ways of doing this with the tee command but this involves
mixing default and error output in the terminal where you run mistelix.

Hello Adrián,

I open a terminal (I use konsole but gnome-terminal is also valid).
I set up the debug (I know that there is another file where I can set up 
it but it's ok for me):
export MISTELIX_DEBUG=true

After that I run mistelix echoing the default output to a file
and the error output to another file:
mistelix > /tmp/output_ok.txt 2> /tmp/output_error.txt

Now look at this. I open two more terminal tabs in konsole and I write:

TAB 1:
tail -f /tmp/output_ok.txt
TAB 2:
tail -f /tmp/outuput_error.txt

This way I can see the output as it happens and at the same time
I have it already saved in a file.

There other ways of doing this with the tee command but this involves 
mixing default and error output in the terminal where you run mistelix.

Additionally to this a mistelix.log is automatically created. See [1].

Thanks,

In the web I read .mistelix.log, is it ok? I mean, here in the mail
you write mistelix.log (without the initial dot).

I will also check this file and decide whether I stick with my method
or if I just tail -f mistelix.log.

Thank you.

Exactly.
