Hi there,

(typically STDOUT in a standard Zope 3 configuration), and vice versa. 
This assumption is true in Zope 2, where in the error_log object you 
can actually request the error to be logged to the shell as well.


It however does not appear to be the case in the error handling logic 
in Zope 3. Instead, all errors appear to be logged to the error 
reporting utility, but only errors that:


* have views

* have this view provide the ISystemErrorView interface

* and have a method on this view isSystemError() returning True

appear to get logged to the SiteError log (and thus STDOUT).

In certain circumstances this leads to errors that do not appear on 
STDOUT that do get logged into the error reporting utility. This is, 
at least to me, rather surprising.


What's the motivation for the differences? Could we unify this 
approach so that the error reporting utility is responsible for 
logging to the SiteError log as well?


+1 for unification

a) it's easier to understand
b) in general favor of unification with Z2


The question I'd like someone to answer is why the system goes through 
the checking of views, isSystemError, and such, before it actually logs 
an error. I can see the benefit in being able to supply an error view 
that handles the error completely, and thus no logging takes place, but 
I wonder whether this is in active use, and why in that case even such 
errors end up going to the error reporting utility.


I.e. should we unify towards the simple case, or should we be unifying 
towards the case where something like isSystemError can be defined?


Note that there's also a whole machinery, independent of this, to 
actually have exception side effects, something that the Zope 3 core at 
least doesn't appear to be using. I wonder whether anyone uses it, and 
if not, whether we can get rid of it completely.

Hey,

Replying to myself: if people feel like digging into things, there are 
some issues that contain some context:

I also ran into this independenly in this issue, so it contains lots of
