Debugging RhodeCode

If you encountered problems with RhodeCode here are some instructions how to possibly debug them.

** First make sure you’re using the latest version available.**

enable detailed debug

RhodeCode uses standard python logging modules to log it’s output. By default only loggers with INFO level are displayed. To enable full output change level = DEBUG for all logging handlers in currently used .ini file. This change will allow to see much more detailed output in the logfile or console. This generally helps a lot to track issues.

enable interactive debug mode

To enable interactive debug mode simply comment out set debug = false in .ini file, this will trigger and interactive debugger each time there an error in browser, or send a http link if error occured in the backend. This is a great tool for fast debugging as you get a handy python console right in the web view. ** NEVER ENABLE THIS ON PRODUCTION ** the interactive console can be a serious security threat to you system.
