Logging module is causing Sphinx to crash.

[Piotrek Byzia]

Hi everybody,

I'm having some problem due to the way I use logging module.
Basically, I have separate file with configuration for logging and in
each of my modules I define:

logging.config.fileConfig(os.getcwd() + "/log/logconf.ini")

and this is where Sphinx stops:

Exception occurred:[ 33%]
developer_guide
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/4.0.30002/lib/
python2.5/ConfigParser.py", line 511, in get
raise NoSectionError(section)
NoSectionError: No section: 'formatters'

Also, in my logcong.ini (config file for logging) I have:

[handler_filelog]
class: FileHandler
level=DEBUG
formatter: detailed
args=('/Users/piotr/Projects/Thesis/Autumn/SKM-latest/log/
warnings_errors.log', 'a')

where I want to provide a relative path but because of the same error
from Sphinx as above I'm forced to provide an absolute path to log
file.

Is there something I'm doing wrong?
How could I retain relative paths in my modules and logging config
files?


Any help greatly appreciated!
Thanks for the great work put on Sphinx, as your website says: “Cheers
for a great tool that actually makes programmers want to write
documentation!”

This error happens when fileConfig can't find ini file.
Make sure that 'os.getcwd() + "/log/logconf.ini"' really
exists.

Thanks for the tip.
Yes, this log file really exists and it's working as expected.
Problem is showing up only when I want to build documentation with
Sphinx :(

BTW, good luck with your GSOC project, Wojtek!

Cheers,

I believe that the file exists and that there is no syntax errors
in this file. My point is that: what if Sphinx is changing
the current working directory to one of its subdirectories
before running this:
logging.config.fileConfig(os.getcwd() + "/log/logconf.ini")
...and in result the path you are providing is not correct.
What about printing the path right before using fileConfig
to make sure that it's correct?

Thanks, a bit of luck might help, really :)
