Comment (by Andrew Selby):
Replying to [comment:1 Mariusz Felisiak]:
Thanks for the quick reply.
I'm perfectly aware that log levels can be used to adjust what log
messages I see, the point is that I want to be able to use all levels of
logging to develop, debug and test my own code which uses the Django
framework. When I'm debugging, I lower the debug level, when it's running
smoothly I raise it. This kind of pollution from Django internals impedes
my ability to fully use the debug levels when developing my own code.
The logger message that was raised was not something I could take any
meaningful action on, or that was likely to be of any use to an informed
user. Should logging be used to debug the code using the framework, or to
debug the framework itself? Your answer implies that the logging should be
used to debug Django itself (ie, for the benefit of the developers), which
makes logging a less clean and therefore useful feature for code using the
framework. This is a major philosophical mistake. Who is Django intended
for - the Django developers, or for the Django users?
An additional problem is, why is an exception trace from an internally
handled exception being dumped into the logs? This should just not happen.
It looks like the Django 4.1+ fix ensures that the exception does not get
thrown, so I'm hopeful that will avoid the specific problem I had - I see
it's due out in a few weeks!
