SUMMARY

This article explains how to access and use the Audium Studio 5 error log, which is a new feature as of Audium Studio 5.

SYMPTOMS

Developer is encountering problems and would like to determine the cause, or developer is working on new custom code and would like to ensure that it is not throwing exceptions.

RESOLUTION

The Audium Studio 5 error log is viewed from within Audium Studio 5.  Click on 'Window -> Show View -> Audium Error Log'.  By default, the view will open in the bottom-middle of the screen, near the Audium Problems view.

NOTE: The Audium Studio 5 error log shows different information than the Audium Problems view.  The Audium Problem's view displays information about validation issues and other feedback a voice application designer needs to be aware of.  On the other hand, the Audium Studio 5 error log displays technical information about errors that a developer (a custom element programmer, for example) would be interested in.

The log is displayed as a table, so that you can see the severity, description, error code, and date of each error at-a-glance.  For more detailed information about an error listed in the table, double-click on it.  This detailed view allows developers to see stack traces related to the error (if any were generated), as well as copy the error details to the clipboard.

There is a toolbar in the upper-right corner of the error log view, the following is a list of the buttons and their uses:

• Export Log - Save the log to a given location.
• Import Log - Load a previously exported log.
• Clear Log Viewer - Visually clears the list of log entries, but does not actually erase them.  This is useful when the log becomes cluttered, but you need to watch for new log entries.  Once cleared, the log can be restored by clicking the "Restore Log" button (see below).
• Delete Log - Permanently deletes all log entries.  This cannot be reversed, but there is a confirmation prompt to ensure that it is not done accidentally.
• Open Log - Opens the log as a text file in the system's default text editor.
• Restore Log - Refreshes the list of errors.  If the log was previously cleared (see "Clear Log Viewer" above), this button causes the cleared items to reappear.
• Menu - Allows access to several configuration choices.
