Print() in Restart in debug mode

[lktr45]

Hello,

Since version 6.4 of Calibre, I no longer see the Print() in the log file in Restart in debug mode (CTRL+Shift+R).
On the other hand, the Print() appear well in the console with the calibre-debug -g command.

For example, if I run the Comments Cleaner plugin:
- calibre-debug -g command, I get the DEBUG lines in the console
- Restart in debug mode: no DEBUG lines in the log file

For my personal plugin tests, I use Calibre Portable and when I created a bug to report the problem, I forgot to specify that I was in Restart in debug mode. The bug was invalidated by Kovid rightly, either because he checked with the command, or indeed the Print() appeared well in Restart in debug mode.

I'm on Windows 10 and maybe I have an environment problem.

1- Could someone confirm (or not) that the Print() appear in the log file in Restart in debug mode?
2 - Is it possible to launch Calibre Portable with the calibre-debug -g command?

Thank you for your answers

1) Yes, it does. P.S.: I use CTRL+ R to restart (not CTRL+SHIFT+R)
2) Just use the full path to "calibre-debug.exe", inside "Calibre Portable\Calibre\"

Thanks Thiago,

1- So I do have an environmental problem. P.S. You are right: I copied the label of the Preferences menu which should be CTRL + Shift + r (or CTRL + R)

2 - With the full path of Calibre Portable and >calibre-debug.exe -g, I run the correct version (for example 6.4) of my Calibre Portable but the libraries and the configuration are those of my current reference Calibre (6.10).

Sorry for my English, I'm French

True. I forgot about that.
Try this:

1) Set up a .bat file like this:

@echo off
set CALIBRE_CONFIG_DIRECTORY=..\Calibre Settings
"D:\Calibre Portable\Calibre\calibre-debug.exe" -g

Change the path to calibre-debug.exe accordingly.

2) Use this .bat file to open calibre.

Thank you for everything Thiago,

That works well. I only had to modify the code of the batch, because I think my directory path was too long which caused an error.

@echo off
cd "C:\Users\christophe\Documents\C6.4.0\Calibre Portable"
set CALIBRE_CONFIG_DIRECTORY=.\Calibre Settings
calibre-debug.exe -g

Looking at your path, I would suggest moving your calibre portable directory outside of your Documents folder.

i.e. "C:\Users\christophe\C6.4.0\Calibre Portable"
