Introduction​

The various components of the goframe framework print out some debug information at key functional nodes, originally only for internal developers to use during the development phase. Due to its powerful capabilities, starting from version v1.10.0 of the goframe framework, it is fully open to all framework users.

In debug mode, the debug information printed by the framework will be prefixed with [INTE] log level and output to the terminal standard output, and it will print the name of the source file and the line number of the code, for example:

2021-04-14 15:24:52.954 [INTE] gdb_driver_mysql.go:49 Open: root:12345678@tcp(127.0.0.1:3306)/test
2021-04-14 15:24:52.954 [INTE] gdb.go:492 open new connection success, master:false, config:&gdb.ConfigNode{Host:"", Port:"", User:"", Pass:"", Name:"", Type:"mysql", Role:"", Debug:false, Prefix:"", DryRun:false, Weight:0, Charset:"", LinkInfo:"root:12345678@tcp(127.0.0.1:3306)/test", MaxIdleConnCount:0, MaxOpenConnCount:0, MaxConnLifeTime:0, QueryTimeout:0, ExecTimeout:0, TranTimeout:0, PrepareTimeout:0, CreatedAt:"", UpdatedAt:"", DeletedAt:"", TimeMaintainDisabled:false}, node:&gdb.ConfigNode{Host:"", Port:"", User:"", Pass:"", Name:"", Type:"mysql", Role:"", Debug:false, Prefix:"", DryRun:false, Weight:0, Charset:"utf8", LinkInfo:"root:12345678@tcp(127.0.0.1:3306)/test", MaxIdleConnCount:0, MaxOpenConnCount:0, MaxConnLifeTime:0, QueryTimeout:0, ExecTimeout:0, TranTimeout:0, PrepareTimeout:0, CreatedAt:"", UpdatedAt:"", DeletedAt:"", TimeMaintainDisabled:false}

Features Enabling​

By default, this debug information is turned off and does not affect the framework's performance. Framework developers and users can enable it through the following methods:

  1. Command line startup parameter - gf.debug=true.
  2. Specified environment variable - GF_DEBUG=true.
  3. After GoFrame v1.14.0, use the g.SetDebug method in the program startup boot package to manually toggle on/off. This method is not thread-safe, which means you cannot call this method dynamically in asynchronous multi-coroutines at runtime to set the debug mode.
tip

You can find that many functional modules of the goframe framework are also configured in the form of command line startup parameters + environment variables according to certain rules 🐸.

info

It is important to note that key debug information of each module of the framework will only output to the terminal standard output and is not supported for output to log files.

Usage Example​

Enable Debug Mode via Environment Variables​

Take Goland IDE as an example, just add the GF_DEBUG environment variable in the running template.

Enable Debug Mode via Command Line Parameters​

Simply start the program with --gf.debug=true, for example:

$ ./app --gf.debug=true
$ ./app --gf.debug true

Alternatively,

$ ./app --gf.debug=1
$ ./app --gf.debug 1
