how to see settings of manet instance

[jfix]

When I have manet running, is there a way to see what the different configuration options are that are being used (in the sandbox maybe)? I'm thinking of the rasterisation engine (slimerjs or phantomjs), the compression, which config JSON file being used etc.

Or an additional option that shows them without starting manet, --debug or --verbose ... just making this up.

I'm asking because even though I'm currently running 0.3.4 my screenshots are seemingly uncompressed (Google homepage at 3MB instead of 21KB), and I'd like to look into this more before filing a bug. Also, the --compress true doesn't seem to have any effect anymore.

Where is the JSON file located that's being used? And can I use another one located elsewhere that overloads the default values?

Thanks!

Now this configuration information will be printed in console at the startup (with "debug" logging level). To switch logging level: --level=debug

I suggest you to update Manet to the last version (0.3.5). I've just fixed some bugs that could solve your problems. I've found that some fixes work fine on Windows and do not work on Linux systems (and otherwise).

For Ubuntu OS + NPM, config file is located here: /usr/local/lib/node_modules/manet/src/config/default.json

At the current moment you can't use other configuration file, but you can specify parameters using CLI.

@jfix Did it help you and we can close this ticket or not?

Hi @vbauer I haven't had time to test this (is the debug level still the default for logging?); I will try tonight. Sorry (and thanks)!

No it isn't, but you can activate it using CLI parameter --level=debug (or change configuration file)

Hi @vbauer I just had a look, this is what I see (slightly redacted):

This looks generally very rich (I'm mostly interested in the first couple of lines, the file name extensions don't make sense to me, but may be useful to someone else), so thanks for exposing this configuration inofrmation. Is the %j some unresolved place holder name? Between engine=phantomjs and timeout=60000 it seems like there is a superfluous comma. And finally, would it be possible to also show the location of the default.json in this output?

Thanks.

Fixed, thank you for feedback!
