6 years ago Halfway through main.py. I tried to use the following convention as best as I could:
log = Logs panel box = info box at the top of POUET
- Write a debug log when starting a function.
- Write an info log when a task has been completed successfully (usually exiting a function)
- Write a success box when a task has been completed successfully (usually exiting a function)
- Write a warning box when a task taking time is initiated (lauching a plot, refreshing the allsky, etc...) and has no other means of feedback.
- Only the functions from main.py can write in the box.
- Write an appropriate log at each try/except box, unless these are very basic try/except loops (e.g., right-click menu)
- Add a config flag to toggle debug log writing when a task loops over observables, to avoid filling the log. Default behavious is deactivated, but can be activated to understand e.g. which targets fails a task.
The current code is a bit inconsistent when it comes to writing logs and displaying status updates (the print_status function). One should go through it and make sure that at each step, the main information is consistently sent to the log and status update.
