Debugging Kallithea¶
If you encounter problems with Kallithea, here are some instructions on how to debug them.
Note
First make sure you’re using the latest version available.
Enable detailed debug¶
Kallithea uses the standard Python logging
module to log its output.
By default only loggers with INFO
level are displayed. To enable full output
change level = DEBUG
for all logging handlers in the currently used .ini file.
This change will allow you to see much more detailed output in the log file 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
the .ini file. This will trigger an interactive debugger each time
there is an error in the browser, or send a http link if an error occurred in the backend. This
is a great tool for fast debugging as you get a handy Python console right
in the web view.
Warning
NEVER ENABLE THIS ON PRODUCTION! The interactive console can be a serious security threat to your system.
