# Logging Implementation Summary ## Overview Comprehensive logging has been added to all Python files in the YouTube CLI project. ## Changes Made ### 1. Logs Directory - Created `/Users/user/Projects/youtube-cli/logs/` directory - Added `logs/` to `.gitignore` (already present) ### 2. Logging Configuration All Python files now have: - **Log file**: `~/.config/youtube_cli/logs/app.log` - **Rotation**: 10MB max, keep 5 backups - **Level**: DEBUG (file), INFO (console) - **Format**: `%(asctime)s | %(name)s | %(levelname)s | %(message)s` ### 3. Files Modified #### `/Users/user/Projects/youtube-cli/youtube_cli/main.py` - Added `logging` and `RotatingFileHandler` imports - Added module-level logger: `logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)` - Replaced all `console.print()` statements with appropriate logger calls: - `logger.debug()` for verbose debugging info - `logger.info()` for normal operations - `logger.warning()` for warnings - `logger.error()` for errors - `logger.exception()` for exceptions (includes traceback) Key logging additions: - Search operations - Download operations - Archive operations - Configuration loading - Network share operations - Error handling with full context #### `/Users/user/Projects/youtube-cli/youtube_tui/app.py` - Added logging imports and configuration - Added module-level logger - Added logging initialization in `main()` function #### `/Users/user/Projects/youtube-cli/youtube_tui/services/download_manager.py` - Added logging imports and configuration - Added module-level logger - Replaced `console.print()` with: - `logger.warning()` for cancellations - `logger.error()` for errors #### `/Users/user/Projects/youtube-cli/youtube_tui/services/youtube.py` - Added logging imports and configuration - Added module-level logger - Replaced `self.console.print()` with `logger.error()` for service errors #### `/Users/user/Projects/youtube-cli/youtube_tui/services/queue.py` - Added logging imports and configuration - Added module-level logger - Replaced `console.print()` with `logger.warning()` for queue operations #### `/Users/user/Projects/youtube-cli/app.py` (REST API) - Added logging imports and configuration - Added module-level logger - Added logging initialization in module scope ### 4. Logging Levels Used | Level | Usage | Example | |-------|-------|---------| | `DEBUG` | Detailed debugging info | Download directory paths | | `INFO` | Normal operations | Search queries, download starts, completions | | `WARNING` | Non-critical issues | Invalid inputs, skipped operations | | `ERROR` | Errors | Failed downloads, missing dependencies | | `CRITICAL` | Critical failures | Not used (reserved for severe issues) | ### 5. Benefits 1. **Production Monitoring**: Full visibility into application behavior 2. **Troubleshooting**: Detailed logs with timestamps and context 3. **Performance Tracking**: Log rotation prevents disk space issues 4. **Debugging**: Both file and console output for development 5. **Consistency**: Same logging approach across all modules ## Usage ### View Logs in Real-Time ```bash tail -f ~/.config/youtube_cli/logs/app.log ``` ### Search Logs ```bash grep "ERROR" ~/.config/youtube_cli/logs/app.log grep "WARNING" ~/.config/youtube_cli/logs/app.log ``` ### Log File Location - Logs are stored in: `~/.config/youtube_cli/logs/app.log` - Old logs are automatically rotated and archived ## Testing To verify logging works: 1. Run the CLI: `python -m youtube_cli "test query"` 2. Run the TUI: `python youtube_tui/app.py` 3. Run the API: `python app.py` 4. Check logs: `cat ~/.config/youtube_cli/logs/app.log` ## Notes - The `RotatingFileHandler` ensures log files don't grow indefinitely - Console output is limited to INFO level for cleaner terminal output - File output captures all DEBUG level messages for thorough logging - All exceptions are logged with full tracebacks using `logger.error()`
