DebugLogger is a developer's tool that enhances the debug console by providing a more organized and efficient way of debugging, without needing to rely on using dump.
DebugLogger is a must-have for developers who want a cleaner alternative to using dump(). This extension enhances the developer's console by breaking up debug messages to be unique per extension or project, letting users view them independently in a clean console.
To make use of this extension, simply put debug statements within your extension using the API provided by DebugLogger. First, access the logMngr API with the following code:
1: logMngr = Components.classes["@mozmonkey.com/debuglogger/manager;1"].getService(Components.interfaces.nsIDebugLoggerManager);
Next, register your logger with DebugLogger using the following code:
2: logger = logMngr.registerLogger("myapp");
Finally, log your messages using the logger API:
3: logger.log(3, "Hello World");
DebugLogger is compatible with Thunderbird 0.9 to 1.5.0.* and works on all platforms.
To avoid errors when someone runs your extension without the debug logger installed, a custom wrapper function should be constructed to invoke the logger. This way, it can be turned on or off from a single source during development and production.
DebugLogger proves to be useful when troubleshooting user-reported problems. Asking users to install the tool can help provide important debugging data to save you time. With DebugLogger, developers can maintain a clean and organized console for better debugging experiences.
