Plugin behaving differently with and without debug option

Terisa de morgan · 03-20-2017, 08:58 AM

Hi,

I have a plugin which doesn't behave in the same way if I'm debugging it or I'm not, although I don't think to invoke it myself differently. It's systematic, so there's some info at some point which is changing. Problem is, I need the info when it is NOT being debugged. Do you have any idea about how to get logs without debugs?

Thanks in advance.

Just output your logs to a file.

create a log (empty list) at the start of your plugin
wherever you have a debug_print(...) add a log.append(...)
write '\n'.join(log) to a file on local disk at the end of the plugin

Thank you, I'll try that (and perhaps a dialog with the specific info).

Thank you for the help, found the problem and, as expected, not related to debug or not debug
