[Question] Is there a way to make all the logs go to one file that I designate?

[syspic]

Question in title. I essentially want to log all the on_.... commands, mostly the on_message , to a file. However I see the way to do this has changed. It is no longer making a subclass of Client so I will have to re learn this :'(

Hmm, the new version shouldn't be released yet, so it shouldn't be a problem; just use the version on PyPI / the v1 branch; however, I'll make an issue soon asking for feedback on how the API should work in the future, so when that comes, I'll link to this issue, thanks!

Oh, and regarding your specific question, see the examples for how I've currently designed the listening system; under that design (which will change), you would do:

import fbchat
session = fbchat.Session.login(...)
listener = fbchat.Listener.connect(session, True, True)
for event in listener.listen():
    if isinstance(event, fbchat.MessageEvent):
        with open('file.log', 'a') as f:
            f.write(event.message.text)

Thank you so much for the response! I've notices you get back the people super quickly and I appreciate that

Oh ok, I see. I was looking at master by accident

As for the listener in v2, is that where all the on.. methods will go now?

[madsmtm]

Yup, that's where I'll move it. Ideally, I'd like the following to work:

import fbchat
session = fbchat.Session.login(...)
listener = fbchat.Listener(session, True, True)

@listener.register
def on_message(message: fbchat.Message):
    with open('file.log', 'a') as f:
        f.write(message.text)

listener.run()

But I'm not quite there yet.

I'll close this issue for now though, if you don't mind 😉

I've made the issue asking for feedback, #526, kindly submit your thoughts! 😃
