On my development server, I log errors to syslog so they are
accessible from a single location. Web2py tickets present a problem
since they are not logged. I could configure syslog to access errors
from the ticket error file, but it contains more information than I
need and the text isn't in a suitable format.
I added three lines to the RestrictedError class log() method in gluon/
restricted.py. The traceback message of a ticket is then logged quite
nicely.
def log(self, request):
...
ticket_storage = TicketStorage(db=request.tickets_db)
ticket_storage.store(request, f, d)
=> for line in str(self.traceback).split("\n"):
=> if len(line.strip()) > 1:
=> logger.error(line.strip())
return '%s/%s' % (a, f)
except:
logger.error(self.traceback)
return None
Is there any interest in adding that to the source code?
Also, when I first tested this, I copied the
logger.error(self.traceback) line from the except clause to log the
ticket message. It only logged the first line. The message logged is:
"Traceback (most recent call last):" which isn't much use. Possibly a
for loop similar to what I used above would improve that.
