Node logging in Tryorama

I am trying to debug my holochain code running it in Tryorama. I do not see any output of my log commands in the flood of Tryorama messages. What is the correct way of doing it? I tried to use simplelog, logging either to file or to stdout, without success.

Hi akoros, I was having the same problem.

If you look in the tryorama github you see an environment variable called TRYORAMA_LOG_LEVEL can be used to set the log level and that it takes the following values:

error, warn, info, verbose, debug, or silly

(see https://github.com/holochain/tryorama/blob/master/src/env.ts and https://github.com/holochain/tryorama/blob/master/src/logger.ts)

I quite like using the npm package dotenv, so I created a .env file in the dna folder containing

TRYORAMA_LOG_LEVEL=warn

installed the dotenv package, and added

require("dotenv").config();

to the test index.js. I’m not sure if this is the “correct” way of doing it (I’m new to developing on holochain) but it seems to have worked.
