How to debug moe

Using logger

You can use the logger. Log files are written to the temp dir (/tmp/moe/logs). You have to import srd/logger.

Example

import std/[os, times, logging]
import moepkg/[ui, bufferstatus, editorstatus, cmdlineoption, mainloop]

##### Important #####
import std/logging

.
.
.

proc initEditor(): EditorStatus =
  let parsedList = parseCommandLineOption(commandLineParams())

  defer: exitUi()

  startUi()

  ##### Important! #####
  debug "debug"

  result = initEditorStatus()
  result.loadConfigurationFile
  result.timeConfFileLastReloaded = now()
  result.changeTheme

cat /tmp/moe/logs/2023-10-24T05:42:17+09:00/moe.log
DEBUG debug

Using log viewer

You can use the log in moe. This is not written to a file.

Example

proc normalMode*(status: var EditorStatus) =
  if not status.settings.disableChangeCursor:
    changeCursorType(status.settings.normalModeCursor)

  ##### Write to log #####
  status.messageLog.add(($status.settings.normalModeCursor).toRunes)

You can check log in Log viewer (:log command).

moe is build in Debug mode. Debug mode can be start with :debug command.
