Debugging best practices

Yii 2.0 General Discussions

Hello everyone,

I wonder what are the best debugging practices. For an example, I log exceptions with the following code:




try {

  $x = 10/0;

} catch (ErrorException $ex) {

  Yii::error($ex->getMessage(), 'xyz');

}

And this error will be saved in my “log” table in mySQL. However, I’m not sure what are the best practices for debugging. Can this be connected with yii2-debug extension? I’ll like to search there for errors. Also, not sure if I can query it from backend template for the whole app and how to restrict access since I don’t have the static IP address.

Thanks,

d

Debugging usually happens on local computer so I’d suggest XDebug with step by step iterations over problematic code.

OK great. Thanks for the suggesion. Just one small question:

When I try to save an error:


Yii::error($ex->getMessage(), 'xyz')

I see the following in my table:

Do you know what might be a problem?

This should be the reason of error:

EDIT:

No, it’s still there, but this fixed the error:
