Have a way for the installer to set all relevant debug flags by default Certainly useful on like the CLI installer So in LocalSettings.php, we get near the top: error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set("display_errors", 1); or even error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT); And at the bottom... $wgShowExceptionDetails = true; $wgShowSQLErrors = true; $wgDebugDumpSql = true; //$wgDebugLogFile = ''; //Enter a path to use this
Are you saying the default LocalSettings should have these sorts of things enabled?
Not really, though, I'm not sure how this should be executed. In the CLIInstaller, using maybe like --includedebug would work. For the WebInstaller, I'm not quite so sure, it's an advanced functionality that most people won't want enabled by default...
I think this isn't a bad idea for the CLI installer. Feel free to do it if you have time before me.
Is there still any interest there? It might useful for continuous integration. A Possibility would be to have some basic templates and let us specify which to prepend / append to the LocalSettings.php Ie something like $ cat maintenance/settings/enableErrors.php error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set("display_errors", 1); $ cat maintenance/settings/Debugging.php $wgShowExceptionDetails = true; $wgShowSQLErrors = true; $wgDebugDumpSql = true; Then: $ php maintenance/install.php \ --prepend settings/enableErrors.php \ --append settings/Debugging.php
