Django 1.3 logging: 500 errors are not logged

问题

I'm struggling to make the 'django.request' logger work as advertised - 500 errors don't seem to propagate to handlers attached to it.

In the default logging configuration for every new project, the comment says the "logging performed by this configuration is to send an email to the site admins on every HTTP 500 error". Obviously the email is only sent if you've setup ADMINS correctly, but I'm not even seeing the handler get called when a view raises an exception.

I built a testcase starting with an empty project, and adding my own handler to the 'django.request' logger:

LOGGING = {
    'version': 1,
    'disable_existing_loggers': False,
    'handlers': {
        'mail_admins': {
            'level': 'ERROR',
            'class': 'django.utils.log.AdminEmailHandler'
        },
        'my_error_handler' : {
            'level': 'ERROR',
            'class': 'log.MyErrorHandler'
        }
    },
    'loggers': {
        'django.request': {
            'handlers': ['mail_admins', 'my_error_handler'],
            'level': 'ERROR',
            'propagate': True,
        },
    }
}

The handler itself:

import logging
class MyErrorHandler(logging.Handler):     
    def emit(self, record):
        print "handling error: %s" % record

If I call .error() on the logger myself, everything works as it should. But when a 500 is generated by a view, neither of the handlers are called. My views.py:

import logging

def home(request):

    #this error will be processed by MyErrorHandler
    logging.getLogger('django.request').error("Custom error message")

    #this won't
    raise Exception('500 error message')

    return HttpResponse("Home")

Everything else is the project is default; DEBUG is True, the middleware config is unchanged. Is there some hidden config option I need to enable to have this work as it says in the docs?

Thanks, Matt.

回答1:

Try it with DEBUG set to False. When debugging is enabled, the error handlers in your settings.py get overridden.

Just for testing:

manage.py runserver --insecure
