Does rospy logging support "exc_info"

asked 2018-09-20 10:26:45 -0500

I just did some test, and seems that rospy logging ignores exc_info=True which is supported by Python loggers.

So when exc_info evaluates True, python logger also logs the exception info. But I cannot make rospy.logerr() work with this.

Did I miss anything?

What is this a duplicate of?

I forgot to choose the option. It is not a duplicate. It is that the rospy log methods only take *args, so it looks obvious it doesn't forward **kwargs to python logging. I am going to delete this question

I cannot accept my own answer yet. It requires 10+ points.

So I didn't notice that rospy log methods only take *args. That makes it obvious that they do not support python logger's **kwargs (exc_info and extra).

PS:

  1. **kwargs is included in the prototypes of those Python methods. It is just the wiki page that needs to be updated.
  2. The support for Python logging's **kwargs (exc_info and extra ) will be fixed by: https://github.com/ros/ros_comm/pull/...

Is this actually true? I see both kwargs as well as argshere.

But not in this wiki page. http://wiki.ros.org/rospy/Overview/Lo... So this is a valid question then. It is a little bit confusing.

The wiki page just doesn't seem to have been updated after ros/ros_comm#948 was merged.

Perhaps you can update the wiki or post a comment on the PR asking why the wiki wasn't updated.

Thanks. I will post a comment there, and also point out it probably broke the python logger's kwargs handling

Actually... this is probably my fault for not updating the documentation back in 2012: https://github.com/ros/ros_comm/pull/6
