logging exceptions

[Yebach]

Hello

In my app I have a lot of functions with try: exception: 

What would be the best way to catch and log exceptions in a file ?

thank you

You can use logging.exception('got exception')

However, try/exception is generally a bad practice, that catches at any exception at all and can lead to very weird bugs.

where do I put logging.exception('got exception') and where do I set file path and name?

In your models you should have something like this:

import logging

logger = logging.getLogger("web2py.app." + request.application)

logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

Then you can put logger.exception inside the exception block like so:

try:

    ...

exception:

    logger.exception('got exception')

As for the file you need to configure web2py logging by creating a "logging.conf" in your web2py's main directory (not the applications directory, web2py's root directory).

You can look here for an example logging.conf https://github.com/web2py/web2py/blob/master/examples/logging.example.conf
