Exception Detector (ED)

This add-on creates a log file by hooking into the logger callbacks in Unity and is able to extract more value from the available information. Assists in finding issues that you might not even be aware of and might be able to find any pesky add-on(s) that might be causing your issues. For Kerbal Space Program.

This will be very useful. Only the other day I was reducing exceptions, looking at logs - having about 230 mods means you have to be careful.

Aside: As a programming language designer, let me just add to that Tony Hoare who said "Null pointers were a billion dollar mistake", that "Exceptions are a trillion dollar mistake".

thank you @610yesnolovely!

I am still working out it's inner mechanics - the filtering etc, with that said - it has been very helpful to me personally.

Still have three major projects with it:

1. Localize the code (easy enough) but the logs still need to be in English (it's the stock language, and like Maritime, Aeronautical, and Space - the stock language) Code Localization
2. add scrollbars and fix the height of the GUI window so it stays fully on screen [Bug ]: GUI window height 0
3. move the default log location to <KSP ROOT>/Logs/ExceptionDetector/ed.log and put a timestamp in the name [Bug ]: Log location and Name
4. ?

4. In-game button, with blurb as required for add-on rules below, which copies Player.log, KSP.log and Ed.log into a date stamped zip file in the KSP root folder (may need to remove paths or identification data from files first?) and then shows the file location (and copies it to clipboard? or opens file explorer). 

Basically a simple mod that devs can ask users to install to help get diags. Perhaps there's one already? I'm sure the seasoned mod developers can advise on that (and limitations).

I'm often surprised how hard people find it to upload logs to dropbox, and how often devs have to say "no logs, no support", which is entirely reasonable request.

Interesting idea and I like it - however two sticky wickets: which archive program is used and for which operating system?

I like it - just haven't a foggiest 'Hardy Boys' clue on how I would code it.

Whoa. @Gotmachinewith the goods over a year ago  - why didn't I know about this. I shall definitely be installing and recommending that if anyone needs support.

Brilliant.

@zer0Kerbal I see that nothing has been done with this for nearlya year (according to the commit history on Github), wondering if you are done with it.

I've made the following changes to a local copy of your repo:

It has the following bug fixes/improvements

• Merged in (by hand) ru files from github user @evanisrael
• Changed .Net version from .Net 3.5 to .Net 4.8
• Move log into the Logs/ExceptionDetector dir  rather than in the Plugins dir
• Adjusted windows size and positioning
• Limited window size to 85% of screen height
• Made window start small and expand to 85% of screen, and then starts using scrollbars
• Enabled window to hide when entire UI is hidden (F2 key)
• Added button to reset the lists
• Added code to not write the stacktrace to the log file if it was empty
• Added whitelist (if string is in the error condition, it won't be reported)
• Added resizing to the window, using the right edge, bottom right corner or bottom edge
• Added toggles to top of window to enable/disable word wrapping and fixed width; fixed width only applies when wordwrap is enabled, it keeps the text width to about 20% of the screen width
• Added toggle to enable/disable the whitelist
   

I'd be happy to do a PR with this, but:   Not going to get into any controversy here, but I want this to be available in CKAN.  I'm not going to get into any reasons behind your actions, they are yours, and I'm not going to argue.  However, I want my work to be available via CKAN.

If you don't want to do that, it's fine.  This isn't a highly used mod, so it's not a big deal either way.

@linuxgurugamer As always and with all my addons - GitHub PR's are always welcome with two notable exceptions: adding dependencies strongly discouraged and adding Harmony is forbidden.

 

Awaiting your PR.

 

Am still working with all my addons. You also have my private email address.

And CKAN (for this mod only)?
