how to debug state ?

[ch huang]

hi,all:

        i want to print some info to log (master ? minion?) ,so i can understand how the state work though checking log output

for example i have the follow python code

 

for i in pillar[grain['host']]:

       log.info(' handle i in loop...')

         start['xxx'] = {

                   ......

                    }

 

how can i modify code to do this?

In almost any salt state or execution module, the logger has already been instantiated as `log`, so you can just use `log.info('string')` or `log.debug('string')`.  Not exactly sure what you're asking, but I hope that helps.

is this in the docs? :)

I usually end up with

fil = open('/tmp/dump','a+')
fil.write(repr(XXX))

in py and mako states/pillars. in jinja you're just out of luck afaik.

Ah, well, I was referring to the actual python modules for states and modules.  The original post was not clear about the context.

i use this ,run it ,can not see string "help me out" on both master log file and minion log file

# cat demo.sls
#!py
import logging

log = logging.getLogger(__name__)

def run():
        state = {}
        log.debug('help me out')
        return state

I don't know whether that logger you instantiated will get pulled into the Salt logs, but in any case I believe their level is set too high for 'debug.' Try 'critical.'
