Logging caught exceptions

[grzn]

It would be very useful for debugging if the serialized exceptions will be logged on the 'server side' with their traceback, since the original traceback isn't visible on the 'client side'.

[tomerfiliba]

why isn't the original traceback visible? the locally-raised exception has an attribute called _remote_tb which holds the traceback of the exception that happened on the server, e.g., http://rpyc.sourceforge.net/tutorial/tut2.html#exceptions

unless you disabled include_local_traceback. see http://rpyc.sourceforge.net/api/core_protocol.html#rpyc.core.protocol.DEFAULT_CONFIG

I think the phrasing of the original issue description was not clear enough.

We mean that in addition to the _remote_traceback attribute (which is great), it would be nice to have rpyc's logging include a debug log of the traceback caught by the dispatch layer. This is just to aid debugging, as the _remote_tb is not printed out by default, and in some cases we understand we should have printed it only when it's too late and the exception object itself is gone. In such cases, however, the rpyc log can be kept on the remote host.

One other way of putting it - it's hard to control all paths calling into a remote rpyc server, but it's easy to control the server itself when it's being first run.

duplicates #74

[tomerfiliba]

the changes are the following:

• connection: a logger object can be set in the config dict; if it's not None, it will be used to log the exception.
• server: if no explicit logger is given in the protocol_config, the server will set the logger to its own internal logger. this way, different servers will log to different loggers

could you please test that it works as expected?

[vmalloc]

So this means the connection object also logs exceptions?

[tomerfiliba]

only the connection object logs exceptions:

the server just sets the logger:

Oh - I was confused - thought you meant the client side connection. Great.
