I've noticed people have some problems getting me logs when there'a a bug,
|
||
|
|
so I worked on improving the logging of the assistant.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
While the assistant logged to `.git/annex/daemon.log` when started as a
|
||
|
|
daemon, when the webapp ran it didn't log there. It's somewhat tricky to
|
||
|
|
make the webapp redirect messages to the log, because it may start a web
|
||
|
|
browser that wants to write to the console. Took some file descriptor
|
||
|
|
juggling, but I made this work. Now the log is even used when the assistant
|
||
|
|
is started for the first time in a newly created repository. So, we have
|
||
|
|
total log coverage.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Next, I made a simple page in the webapp to display the accumulated logs.
|
||
|
|
It does not currently refresh as new things are logged. But it's easier
|
||
|
|
for me to tell users to click on `Current Repository -> View log` than
|
||
|
|
ask for them to look for the daemon.log file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Finally, I made all the webapp's alerts also be written to the log.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|

Also did the requisite bug fixes.
