Logging

By default, Igir will print the following log levels:

  • ERROR: an unexpected error has prevented an intended command
  • WARN: a preventable error has prevented an intended command

There are additional levels of verbosity that can be enabled with the -v flag:

  • INFO (-v): print information about actions taken.

    This includes:

    • Files being copied, zipped, and linked
    • dir2dat files being created
    • Fixdat files being created
    • Leftover input files deleted after being moved
    • Output files being cleaned (including files skipped due to --clean-dry-run)
    • Report files being created

    Usage:

    igir [commands..] [options] -v

    This level is helpful to turn on if you want to know every action that is resulting in a file being created, modified, or deleted.

  • DEBUG (-vv): print information about actions taken and skipped.

    This includes:

    • Everything from the INFO level above
    • Files skipped from being copied, zipped, or linked because the output file exists and an --overwrite option wasn't provided
    • Fixdat files skipped from being created because all games were found

    Usage:

    igir [commands..] [options] -vv

    This level is helpful to turn on if you want to debug why an action didn't take place.

  • TRACE (-vvv): print information about actions taken, skipped, and additional information that can be helpful to debug issues.

    Usage:

    igir [commands..] [options] -vvv

    Note

    Trace logs are required when submitting bug reports as they include information that can help diagnose your unique situation!
