Logging issues

[BKeyport]

I’m having trouble with logging issues again - and want to get some feedback on why and how it’s not working -

Trying to get a module (MMM-pages) to work the way I want it to - and notice in the code that it’s using Log.warn to try and log errors and whatnot.

I’m launching MM with pm2, in a server/client enviroment.

PM2 logs show nothing from this module, either on the server or the client.

my config.js has log level set at logLevel: ["INFO", "LOG", "WARN", "ERROR", "DEBUG"],

where is this actually logging to?

[sdetweil]

@BKeyport browser side goes to the browser console , which you can see in the developers window, console tab (how i debugged your recent problem)
pm2 only sees the stdout/stderr consoles (so only from node_helpers log. or console.)

so to merge them together you would use
MMM-Logging or MMM-LogExt
then all the messages are logged in the stdout/err console

i extended logging, MMRIZE did LogExt

logLevel decides which messages print

[BKeyport]

Ended up loading it up on my PC to get the console.

So, here’s what I got…

1. Apparently, MMM-pages will resume the rotation if you tell it to pause, but it’s already paused.
2. It should be documented that MMM-pages will pause as part of the hidden pages routine.

While I was looking and debugging

Out of curiosity, why would calendar try to update the DOM without being given a location to display

[sdetweil]

@BKeyport module doesn’t know its position (or lack thereof)
it signals updateDom() which calls getDom()
oops no place to put it. oh well

hidden pages stop rotation

.

i think it says that ‘not in the normal rotation’

pause while paused restarts is a bug i think, will review
as i just fixed that area too

[sdetweil]

@BKeyport i looked thru the code and dont SEE a path where pause while paused restarts, but i will test later tonight

can you show any part of what you logged?

@sdetweil While this is broken up to explain what is sent where, there’s no lines in between other than the diagnostics on the error for “already paused”

@BKeyport sent message

[BKeyport]

@sdetweil Got message - nothing critical, as usual. and if you have a better way to set page & pause (stop), then later resuming (start) the rotation, I’m all ears.

For reference, same configuration as before.

[sdetweil]

@BKeyport git pull for update
I think you can set page (will resume rotation)
then immediately (or before rotationTime) pauseRotation

[BKeyport]

@sdetweil – Pausing is working perfectly, but we moved the bug elsewhere.
