Re: Where is the error.log gone?

Pierre Smits
The timing of when an opinion is expressed in a posting should be
considered of a lesser importance than the arguments in such postings.

Given that your viewpoint only supports your personal case, makes me wonder
whether you have the best interest of other community members and users at
heart.

Re: Where is the error.log gone?

Adrian Crum-3
I agree the importance is in the arguments.

You have argued that *forcing* someone to configure their log settings
in a production deployment places an undue burden on them. As I have
pointed out, configuring log settings is standard practice - no one is
being forced to do it. In fact, only a fool would run OFBiz in a
production environment using the OOTB settings.

So, your argument has been contrived simply for the sake of being
argumentative. Clearly, your participation in this discussion is not in
the best interest of the community.

Re: Where is the error.log gone?

Pierre Smits
I am not debating your point that configuring log settings is a standard
practice. I am debating the mimimum that OFBiz provides OOTB and whether
that is good enough for the majority of the users.

I use OFBiz in my business. I offer it as a business solution to my
prospective customers, and I provide services around around OFBiz.
So yes, I have a vested interest in having a solution that is easily
implemented, including ease of reporting on functioning in any kind of
operation setting. An OOTB error.log helps with that. Having someone to go
into an extensive log file and extract from there the errors and report
those is eating up more time than having the report ready. Likewise is
having to configure every new instantiation to get it to the default that
is needed in a business environment (and according to business needs).
Having a feature set and a configuration setting that satisfies the
majority is better than having one that satisfies a minority.

That you hold my argument as just for the sake of argumentative, is beside
the reality I am faced with.  A reality that others might have as well. It
seems to me that your last remark is rather intended to have me (and
others) shut up about this than trying to resolve this issue.

Re: Where is the error.log gone?

Adrian Crum-3
In reply to this post by Pierre Smits
The issue has been resolved, so yes - I am trying to get you to shut up
about it.

If you spent half as much time creating a configuration patch as you did
making your silly pointless arguments, then your customers and sysadmins
would have the log configurations they need.

I guess you speak about OFBIZ-5287. Then I have just reopened and assigned it to myself.
My plan is to propose and alternative log4j2.xml with some inline comments (never hurt if maintained) and to put back error.log. This is in a patch
submitted at OFBIZ-5287.
Then I will to ask users (on user ML) to vote for putting back the error.log or not. This is called democracy and majority will tell us. I have not
much hope, but I want to try.

Re: Where is the error.log gone?

Adrian Crum-3
I would be in favor of adding more comments if it will help end users
configure their local copy.

But keep in mind those comments remove the necessity of adding the error
log to the trunk - since they will know how to enable it themselves.

Gentlemen,

seeing what Jacques is doing for OFBiz (what would ofbiz be without
him?), is it such a problem, he can have his error log ?

Because it was there and he thinks it is important, it is enough for me
to let himhave it.

Jacopo, please put it back and let everybody going back to the important
subjects?

Put that comment to a vote Anil. Let's see how many people you don't
even know that read and monitor these lists every day agree with you.

I quite liked the error log. I wasn't married to it - but it was
fairly handy to see if it was massive there was something amiss. If
there was a vote to keep it I'd probably vote yes.

From an outsider looking in this thread is doing nothing to promote
the OFBiz "community spirit" and in fact highlights quite a serious
"My bat, My ball" mentality that is now intrinsic here.  Something
handy was there for years then removed. Jacques questioned it and has
spent the last few days being taken apart and at times it's getting
personal.

Just put it to a vote.

I too use error.log . I could live with out it as well but if there is a vote to keep it I'd definitely vote yes.
Jacques has been an active contributor to this project and I respect him for being so helpful on the ML.

In reply to this post by Paul Piper
Where are the adults in this project?
This conversation has no business in a user forum.
If you need to vent or feel that a personal attack is required, do it on
Twitter or Facebook or better yet write yourself a memo and put it in a
drawer to read later (year or two).

If there is a serious technical disagreement where a consensus can not
be reached through the JIRA comment process, sort it out in a Project
Management Meeting and make a decision that is binding on the team. Then
stop the bickering and get on with it.

People who absolutely can not stay in business with an OFBiz suffering
from the results of the decision will have to fork the project.

It seems that the key contributors might benefit from a collaboration
session with the whole multi-media support under the supervision of the
chairperson to get a team strategy and reinforce the team spirit that is
supposed to drive Apache projects.
If the role of chairperson is contentious in gaining consensus on
mission and strategy, perhaps someone from the ASF might be a good
chairperson.

Hans, I agree with you on this, there are more important subjects to deal with and this error.log story has gone too far.
Someone has to step back a bit, I guess...
Ok, if Jacques will commit the error.log configuration (or jacques.log) then I will do my best to stay busy with something else and ignore that commit.

This is something I was considering since a long time, thanks for mentioning it.
We could have monthly Google Hangouts (or similar technology) to meet and know each other
I don't think we should discuss team strategies, tasks priorities, the future of the project or similar... these are topics that is better to discuss in the mailing list for a series of reasons (visibility, time zones, log history etc...).
It could be in the form of a "virtual pizza" (my Italian hat on, but Jacques can have escargot ;-) ) where the participants have some food and can chit chat of light topics (possibly not OFBiz).
After all these years in the OFBiz community it would be good to know each other from a different point of view... and maybe this will help to remove some of the friction that we experience in this community.
We could give it a try... at least we will not be able to stub each other during the hangout.

This sounds like a great idea to me Jacopo. I want to come to the hang outs!

The recent argumentative tone on the list is certainly not ideal, but IMO it is at least evidence that there are many of us who care a lot about OFBiz and its future. So we have that in common!

To spend some time together in a google hangout (or similar) would help us remember that there are amazing human beings with quirks and strengths and weaknesses and the whole ball of wax behind those email messages.

So count me in, it sounds like fun!

Best regards,

Mike

+1 on my end as well. It would allow us to answer newcomer-questions and also make it easier to discuss important topics that have the tendency to get heated.
