Summary: Unable specify log level when starting deployer
Product: OCL
Version: trunk
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: P2
Component: Deployment
AssignedTo: orocos-dev [..] ...
ReportedBy: kiwi [dot] net [..] ...
CC: orocos-dev [..] ...
Estimated Hours: 0.0

Want to be able to specify the log level of the deployer application at startup
e.g.

deployer-gnulinux --log=DEBUG

deployer-gnulinux --log=Info

etc.

Would anyone be against using the boost::program_options library to do this?
Replacing the existing command line parsing would be trivial with this library
also.

Cheers

As this one is still ¨reopened":

Yesterday, I spent half an hour debugging looking why ORO_LOGLEVEL wasn't
respected by the deployment component. I didn't find anything in
<http://www.orocos.org/stable/documentation/ocl/v1.8.x/api/html/classOCL_1_1DeploymentComponent.html>
nor in
<http://www.orocos.org/stable/documentation/ocl/v1.8.x/doc-xml/orocos-deployment.html>
about this option. Then I came to the conclusion that reading docs is not
useful,
<look for hidden ad>
only grepping the OCL source works
</>

I was running an application I got from someone who was so kind to provide me a
oneliner bash script stating "deployer-blabla -linfo". Unfortunately, I didn't
look close to the script statements.

Therefore, please leave reopened until docs are updated about the command line
options op the DC. If it's only about the loglevel, I wanna give it a first
try, but maybe someone else (hint, Stephen :-) is more appropriate.

Hmmm mea culpa ... where do you think additional documentation should
go? This page

http://www.orocos.org/stable/documentation/ocl/v1.8.x/doc-xml/orocos-dep...

or just leave it within the deployer and maybe make the option
descriptions more verbose?

That web page doesn't mention how to run the deployer(s) at all, which
is something we probably should change. Am I correct in saying that
the ocl/doc/xml/orocos-deployment.xml file is used to generate that
web page?

Yes. There's already a section about starting the deployer application.

How about the attached?

Warning, I can't build the doc's on my Mac so I am certain that there
are typo's in the attached. Seems there is some illegal option used by
CMake. Don't remember this happening before, but I'll look into it.

I prefer the former since I think the option descriptions are verbose
enough, and 2 somehow I didn't have the reflex to run a -help on an
orocos program.
Indeed, now section 1.2 of the former docu page mentions the -start
options but not the other options.

Well, you could argue that section 1.2 mentions is very briefly :-)
And admitted, it _does_ mention that there's a --help option (which I
overlooked yesterday :-( Shame on me!
Maybe part of my problem originated in the fact that the CLI overrides
the environment value without warning...

I would advocate adding "1.3 Running the Orocos Applications" and
describe the options in there.

That is true, and I'm not a fan of those kind of silent overrides.
Wouldn't take much to add a warning in the deployer/taskbrowser/etc
that the cmd-line option is overriding the env. var. That might help
with this frustrating "waste of time tracking down nothing"
experience. Also, given the way the programs are structured the log
will output a line indicating logging at whatever level the env. var.
sets, then the cmd-line option will sliently override it and future
log entries won't match. Probably the warning should be in the log
file and not to the console.

However this is common practice (at least under Unix) to have switches
override environment variables which again often override
dot-files. Its useful for occasionally overriding defaults.

A warning wouldn't really hurt although i think its needless. The
lesson here is to not run other peoples scripts without looking at
them :-)

I was thinking 1.6. I still have to consider if it's worse to change the
behaviour of a program from 'deamon' to 'console' or to rename the program
alltogether. Possibilities for the variations could be 'cdeployerd',
'cdeployer-tb',...

I don't think TAO reads argv[0]...

Agreed. You decide. If it potentially breaks stuff, make it part of the v1.6

The only thought is if TAO prints usage on an error, and includes the program
name. I didn't want to confuse the user in this case, by having an incorrect
"argv[0]".

I'm still thinking about this solution. It's one program less, but the default
behavior of cdeployer changes from 'daemon' (no console) to console based.
That breaks some scripts probably... On the other hand, I like the fact that
only the server side needs an extra option such that 'console' usage causes
less type work (a sane default).

This is not a 'perfect' implementation. I'd prefer to have a method that tells
the logger to disable console logging, then to redirect it to a stringstream...
We could check for 'stdoutput' not being null or an extra flag in
maylogStdOut().

I'm not sure that you can do it better... Does it matter for TAO what argv[0]
contains ? I would just have passed to InitOrb(argc - taoIndex, argv[taoIndex]
)...and drop taoArgc and taoArgv calculations. Just a guess.

Refined patch

Cleaner patch. More capable use of boost program options (now returns variable
map to caller)

Consolidates cdeployer and deployer-corba into cdeployer (removes need for
deployer-corba).

Adds option to cdeployer to either run corba server (ie original behaviour), or
run taskbrowser with corba (ala deployer-corba).

Adds option to turn off console logging

NB the code to monkey with argc/argv is still not pretty ... :-(

I'm not sure if this patch already allows the TAO options ? Otherwise, we could
allow them after a '--' occurence or so and only pass the arguments before '--'
to the program options library.

I just realised that it doesn't handle these correctly. Boost can
handle this situation, I'll send a further patch soon. It's only a
small change ...

Just one more patch ... ;-)

We missed a file, and I screwed something(s) up. Patch below (with whitespace changes ignored - HTH).

Thanks. I also won't test this patch :-). I'm really taking the open-source
mantra 'many testers find many bugs' in an uncommon interpretation...

Submitting patches through the orocos.org website is very tricky though. The
patch did not arrive correctly on the mailing list and copy/pasting it from
the website forum is a disaster as well. I'm not inclined to fix the website
now as we'll be 'soon' upgrading to Drupal 6, and maybe that release fixes
these problems by itself.

I got the patch by copy/pasting from the post's edit form. Admin access is a
tiny hurdle for those wanting to try out your patches for now...

Applied, thanks.

Peter

Yep. Same here.

Patch is fine, weren't it for the never ending coding style/indentation issues
I'm inflicting upon my peers. Also, the patch could apply on the other deployer
variants as well. We could merge them all in one deployer.cpp file later on.
I'll re-indent the patch and apply it.

Merged the common command line parsing code and introduced it to the
other two deployers. I did _not_ integrate the 3 deployers, which
might have been what you had in mind?

Sorry in advance for the indenting ... I saw recent traffic re orocos-
emacs-c-mode. Was a consensus reached about the code?

Yes, but the patch is fine (well... did not apply it yet :-). Except that you
copy/pasted the ReportingComponent.hpp license header into
deployer-funcs.hpp. You should set your own copyright notice/email/date in
there, using the LGPL license.

Well, no tabs, 4 spaces indents.

Corrected.

Also trying Klaas's emacs orocos-mode (AKA Keep-Peter-Happy-With-Our-
Indenting ... :-) )

Patch attached.

Final proposed patch. The cmake mod's you proposed appear to work. The
additional boost files I use are caught by the original cmake check for
ublas.hpp file (at least in Ubuntu, they're all in the same package).

Understood. I've finished the code for this patch, and will take a look at the
cmake problem later today.

We'll have to modify the config/* cmake files as well to detect that the user
has installed the boost::program_options library and headers.
The cause of this report, adding --log=Info is not yet in this patch...

I just realised that I accidentally changed the config file option name. Line
23 of deployer.cpp should read

("start",

instead of

("config-file",

I will go ahead and do this. We'd like to have a way, redundant though it is,
to specify the log level from command line and not have to manipulate the
environment.

Just do:

export ORO_LOGLEVEL=6
or
export ORO_LOGLEVEL=5

You're free to add this and it will be accepted, but it is in a way redundant.
