trace() in extension not appearing in admintool log

[roocell]

the user doc says

Outputs the message to the SmartFoxServer console and to the Admininistrator Tool.
It can be useful for remote debugging when developing Extensions.

I get the trace log in the console, but not in the adminTool logs.
Is there something I have misconfigured ?

There are two possible issues:

1) You have set <ExtensionRemoteDebug> to false in your server config (this defaults to true)

2) You are not using the Pro version of SmartFoxServer. Trace debugging is only enabled in the Pro version.

Take a look at the Smartfox Documentation, Section 2.1: Server Configuration - The Basics

[roocell]

both of those conditions are true for me.

[Snowmane]

I thought you were having trouble with the trace statement not showing in the admin tool, but now I see it's a logging problem.

Have you tried setting your config.xml <FileLoggingLevel> to FINEST?

[roocell]

i already had these settings have

<FileLoggingLevel>FINEST</FileLoggingLevel>
<ConsoleLoggingLevel>INFO</ConsoleLoggingLevel>
<ExtensionRemoteDebug>true</ExtensionRemoteDebug>


should i try INFO ?
does the trace statement show up in the adminTool somewhere else?
I assumed the statement in the docs meant the log (which is viewed through the adminTool).

[Snowmane]

Well, you got me stumped. I guess we'll have to wait for Lapo to respond. Sorry, wish I could have helped you out.

[Lapo]

I am stumped too
That feature simply works, if those settings are right there's no good reason why it should not work.

Is your extension at Zone Level or Room level?
Also which server version do you use?

[roocell]

just to be sure I'm looking in the right spot - it's supposed to show up in the log in the adminTool?

i'm using Pro 1.6.6

here's my zone config

<Zones>

<Zone name="zone1" emptyNames="true">
<Extensions>
<extension name="srv" className="ServerRoomVars.as" type="script" />
</Extensions>
<AutoReloadExtensions>true</AutoReloadExtensions>
<Rooms>
<Room name="The Entrance" maxUsers="100" isPrivate="false" isTemp="false" autoJoin="true" />




</Rooms>
</Zone>

[Lapo]

Yes, correct.
But not just that, you have to select the Extension View from the drop down and select the extension that you want to monitor.

If we talk about a Zone Level extension you need to first select the Zone in the Zone Browser. If it's a Room extension, then you also need to choose the proper Room.

[roocell]

oh ok. thanks for the help - it's just my misunderstanding.
i thought it was in the logs (the man tab of the adminTool).

maybe the documentation on the trace() function could be explained a little better.

Outputs the message to the SmartFoxServer console and to the Admininistrator Tool.
It can be useful for remote debugging when developing Extensions.

could be

Outputs the message to the SmartFoxServer console and to the Admininistrator Tool (zone browser->extension view->trace window).

Actually there is an entire chapter of the docs devoted to Extension monitoring: http://www.smartfoxserver.com/docs/docP ... anager.htm

[Carl Lydon]

whats' the new url for that Lapo?

Your current link is dead.

[Lapo]

Yep, the SFS1.x doc has been relocated to this url (when we updated our website)
http://www.smartfoxserver.com/docs/1x/

See --> Section 3
