Remote Logging of Errors With User Approval

Log Errors Remotely With User Approval

"The modern software revolution hasn’t caught up with the open-source research software community. Most open-source research software is still distributed as a binary and emits no logs that can be analyzed by the developer."

From: https://gojiberries.io/2023/07/02/hard-problems-about-research-software/

We provide sample code here for how remote logging with user approval can be enabled.

from flask import Flask, request
import uuid
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/error_endpoint', methods=['POST'])
def receive_error_message():
error_message = request.form.get('error_message')
if error_message:
unique_filename = str(uuid.uuid4()) + ".txt"
with open(unique_filename, 'w') as file:
file.write(error_message)
return "Error message received and stored successfully!"
else:
return "Error: No error message received."
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(port=5001)
