Debugging Weblate¶
Bugs can behave as application crashes or as misbehavior. You are welcome to collect info on any such issue and submit it to the issue tracker.
Modo de depuração¶
Turning on debug mode will make the exceptions show in the browser. This is useful to debug issues in the web interface, but not suitable for production environment as it has performance consequences and might leak private data.

Weblate logs¶
Weblate can produce detailed logs of what is going in the background. In
the default configuration it uses syslog and that makes the log appear either in
/var/log/messages
or /var/log/syslog
(depending on your syslog
daemon configuration).
The Celery process (see Tarefas de fundo a usar o Celery) usually produces own logs as well. The
example system-wide setups log to several files under /var/log/celery/
.
Docker containers log to their output (as usual in the Docker world), so
you can look at the logs using docker-compose logs
.

Sample configuration contains LOGGING
configuration.
Not processing background tasks¶
Lot of things happen in background Celery workers. In case things like sending out e-mails or component removal does not work, there might be some issue with it.
Things to check in that case:
Check Celery process is running, see Tarefas de fundo a usar o Celery
Check Celery queue status either in Interface de gestão or using
celery_queues
Look into Celery logs for errors (see Weblate logs)
Not receiving e-mails from Weblate¶
You can verify whether outgoing e-mail is working correctly by using the
sendtestemail
management command (see Invoking management commands
for instructions on how to invoke it in different environments) or using
Interface de gestão under the Tools tab.
These send e-mail directly, so this verifies that your SMTP configuration is correct (see Configuração de e-mail de saída). Most of the e-mails from Weblate are however sent in the background and there might be some issues with Celery involved as well, please see Not processing background tasks for debugging that.
Análise de falhas de aplicação¶
In case the application crashes, it is useful to collect as much info about the crash as possible. The easiest way to achieve this is by using third-party services which can collect such info automatically. You can find info on how to set this up in Collecting error reports.
Silent failures¶
Lots of tasks are offloaded to Celery for background processing. Failures are not shown in the user interface, but appear in the Celery logs. Configuring Collecting error reports helps you to notice such failures easier.
Performance issues¶
In case Weblate performs badly in some situation, please collect the relevant logs showing the issue, and anything that might help figuring out where the code might be improved.
In case some requests take too long without any indication, you might want to install dogslow along with Collecting error reports and get pinpointed and detailed tracebacks in the error collection tool.
