Question

I cannot debug bottle. I have 500 errors in dev. I am using the latest bottle wit the debug=True flag.

if __name__ == "__main__":
    # Interactive mode
    run(host='localhost', port=8049,debug=True)

This is what I get…..

Bottle v0.11.rc1 server starting up (using WSGIRefServer())...
Listening on http://localhost:8049/
Hit Ctrl-C to quit.

localhost - - [30/Sep/2012 18:59:13] "POST /bidder/ HTTP/1.1" 500 1407
localhost - - [30/Sep/2012 18:59:14] "POST /bidder/ HTTP/1.1" 500 1407
localhost - - [30/Sep/2012 18:59:14] "POST /bidder/ HTTP/1.1" 500 1407
localhost - - [30/Sep/2012 18:59:15] "POST /bidder/ HTTP/1.1" 500 1407
localhost - - [30/Sep/2012 18:59:15] "POST /bidder/ HTTP/1.1" 500 1407

I don’t mind the 500 as long I can find out why?

The debug=False keyword parameter in the run() function is only available in the current development version; the current 0.10.x code itself ignores doesn’t yet support it.

Instead, use the debug() function instead:

if __name__ == "__main__":
    # Interactive mode
    run(host='localhost', port=8049)
    debug(True)

or run with the --debug command-line flag.

You may have to import the debug function from bottle if you haven’t done so already. The tutorial explains debug mode in more detail.
