Comment:
I think we should examine a few givens:
a) Software will never, ever, ever be totally bug free - there's always
going to be a chain of completely unpredictable events that somehow, are
going to lead to an application error
b) To fix errors, the developer needs to know about them
c) When an application is running on the production environment, we don't
want the user to see any errors (unless the error messages are going to
help them resolve the problem).
Cake has chosen to not log errors in production mode - this assumes that
code is either completely bug free (against presupposition a), or that
developers will somehow discover these bugs through sheer intuition.
Yes - cake is powerful and flexible enough to override this behavior - but
why has hiding errors from the user AND developer been made the standard
behavior? In what possible scenario would this behavior be desirable?
I apologise for the aggressive tone of this update - I aim to provoke some
discussion as to the reasons why this behavior was decided on, and
hopefully persuade the developers that it simply doesn't make sense in a
real world context.
