At 5:03, we log a message with logging.info() and I bring up that .debug(), .warn(), etc all log messages at those levels. We also did logging.warn() and logging.info() before that. So, no, we didn't do exactly logging.debug() but if you were following along, it shouldn't have been that big of a jump to do.

Sorry if it was confusing!

The prompt says to create a log message at level debug. You did logging.info() which creates a message at level info.

import logging

logging.basicConfig(filename='cc.log', level=logging.DEBUG) logging.debug("yes")

This is how this code worked for me since I used logging.info and didn't let me pass the task

I see, my thinking was that logging.info would log all levels, including DEBUG. I made the code work with logging.debug. Thanks again Kenneth, that would be radical to work together on a future project. I am also a Oregon Python-artista. =)

task 2

import logging

logging.basicConfig(filename='cc.log', level=logging.DEBUG)

Write your code below here

logging.debug('This message should go to the log file') logging.warning("The French have the Grail" )

Logging works based on the level that you set and acts as the threshold for tracking events. Levels in order of severity from lowest to highest - debug, info, warning, error, critical.

Example #1:

logging.basicConfig(filename='cc.log', level=logging.DEBUG) 
logging.debug('Debug message')
logging.info('Info message')
logging.warning('Warning Message')

will write all these messages to the cc.log file, since DEBUG is the lowest level

DEBUG:root:Debug message                                                                                                       
INFO:root:Info message                                                                                                         
WARNING:root:Warning Message 

Example #2:

logging.basicConfig(filename='logger.log', level=logging.ERROR)
logging.error('Error message')
logging.critical('Critical message')
logging.warning('Warning Message') 

will exclude the warning message

ERROR:root:Error message                                                                                                       
CRITICAL:root:Critical message
