== Enabling Sugar debug logging ==
== Enabling Sugar debug logging ==
Starting with the 0.83 development release, we created the text file, ~/.sugar/debug (shown in the gray box below), which gets read at sugar startup. All the logging options are commented out by default. Use your editor of choice and remove the '#' before the line 'export SUGAR_LOGGER_LEVEL=debug' to enable Sugar debug logging.
A shell script file, {{Code|~/.sugar/debug}}, is run when Sugar starts up. All environment variables exported by the file will be inherited by the Sugar shell and activity processes.
 
From Sugar 0.83 to 0.98, the file is prepared with commented lines.  From Sugar 0.102, the file must be created by you. Use your editor to add a line, or remove the '#' before the line, to ensure SUGAR_LOGGER_LEVEL is exported with the value ''debug'', like this:
 
export SUGAR_LOGGER_LEVEL=debug
 
From Sugar 0.83 to 0.98, the prepared file looks like this:
