The log file shows what happened while A-A-P was executing. Often you can figure out what went wrong by looking at the messages. The log file is named "AAP/log". It is located in the directory of the main recipe. If you executed aap again and now want to see the previous log, it is named "AAP/log1". Older logs are "AAP/log2", "AAP/log3", etc. This goes up to "AAP/log9".
MESSAGES The kind of messages given can be changed with the MESSAGE variable. It is a list of message types for which the message is actually displayed: all everything error error messages warning warnings depend dependencies, the reasoning about what to build info general info (file copy/delete, up/downloads) extra extra info (why something was done) system system (shell) commands changedir changing directories The command line arguments "-v" and "-s" can be used to make the most often used selections: argument MESSAGE (nothing) error,info,system -v --verbose all -s --silent error Other values can be assigned at the command line. For example, to only see error and dependency messages: aap MESSAGE=error,depend (other arguments) Don't forget that excluding "error" means that no error messages are given! No matter what messages are displayed, all messages are written in the log file. This can be used afterwards to see what actually happened. The name of the log file is "aap/log". This is located relative to the main recipe. Older log files are also remembered. The previous log is "aap/log1". The oldest log is "aap/log9". |
