Ctrl-Shft-R Debug vs calibre-debug -g

JimmXinu · 11-19-2014, 11:56 PM

I've noticed a couple of odd things about the two debug modes. I'm using caliber 2.10 on Win8.

First:

If I'm already in Ctrl-Shft-R debug mode and hit Ctrl-R to restart, calibre restarts and says it's in debug mode with the same debug file, but it doesn't write anything more to the debug text file.

It looks like there should be another check at calibre/gui2/main.py:347. I don't know what's most appropriate. Perhaps: u'--gui-debug' in sys.argv ?

Second:

Trying to debug a FileTypePlugin, print statements from run() etc don't show up in the console output when I'm using calibre-debug -g. They do appear in the text file when using Ctrl-Shft-R debug.

I don't have any ideas about that one.

As for the second, I think that's a peculiarity of the windows console, calibre-debug -g should work if you redirect its output to a file, like this

calibre-debug -g > log.txt 2>&1

And here's a fix for the second issue, windows is such a pain
