How to turn on detailed logging to see what NetBeans does behind the scene?
To turn on the detailed logging you might either:
- adding the text to your $NB_BIN/etc/netbeans.conf, property netbeans_default_options:
-J-Dorg.netbeans.modules.ruby.level=300 -J-Dorg.netbeans.api.ruby.platform.level=300
- or running NetBeans directly with those parameters, like:
$NB_BIN/bin/netbeans -J-Dorg.netbeans.modules.ruby.level=300 -J-Dorg.netbeans.api.ruby.platform.level=300
To view the log, go to Menu | View | IDE Log File. Often the content of this log is very helpful for Ruby IDE developers when catching a bug in the IDE.
When you attaching log with detailed logging to the issue, it's best to follow this steps:
- run the IDE with turned logging on (above)
- reproduce the scenario which causes the issue you are encountering
- after reproducing attach the log to the issue. The log file is at <home>/<nb-dir>/var/log.
