Depurar Weblate

Bugs can behave as application crashes or as misbehavior. You are welcome to collect info on any such issue and submit it to the issue tracker.

Modo de depuración

Turning on debug mode will make the exceptions show in the browser. This is useful to debug issues in the web interface, but not suitable for production environment as it has performance consequences and might leak private data.

Registros de Weblate

Weblate can produce detailed logs of what is going in the background. In the default configuration it uses syslog and that makes the log appear either in /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog (depending on your syslog daemon configuration).

The Celery process (see Tareas en segundo plano con Celery) usually produces own logs as well. The example system-wide setups log to several files under /var/log/celery/.

Docker containers log to their output (as usual in the Docker world), so you can look at the logs using docker-compose logs.

Not processing background tasks

Lot of things happen in background Celery workers. In case things like sending out e-mails or component removal does not work, there might be some issue with it.

Elementos que revisar en este caso:

Not receiving e-mails from Weblate

You can verify whether outgoing e-mail is working correctly by using the sendtestemail management command (see Invocar órdenes de gestión for instructions on how to invoke it in different environments) or using Interfaz de gestión under the Tools tab.

These send e-mail directly, so this verifies that your SMTP configuration is correct (see Configurar el correo electrónico saliente). Most of the e-mails from Weblate are however sent in the background and there might be some issues with Celery involved as well, please see Not processing background tasks for debugging that.

Analyzing application crashes

In case the application crashes, it is useful to collect as much info about the crash as possible. The easiest way to achieve this is by using third-party services which can collect such info automatically. You can find info on how to set this up in Collecting error reports.

Silent failures

Lots of tasks are offloaded to Celery for background processing. Failures are not shown in the user interface, but appear in the Celery logs. Configuring Collecting error reports helps you to notice such failures easier.

Problemas de rendimiento

In case Weblate performs badly in some situation, please collect the relevant logs showing the issue, and anything that might help figuring out where the code might be improved.

In case some requests take too long without any indication, you might want to install dogslow along with Collecting error reports and get pinpointed and detailed tracebacks in the error collection tool.
