Logging
=======
CasperJS allows logging using the :ref:`casper.log() <casper_log>` method and these standard event levels:
- ``debug``
- ``info``
- ``warning``
- ``error``
Sample use::
var casper = require('casper').create();
casper.log('plop', 'debug');
casper.log('plip', 'warning');
.. index:: verbose
Now, there are two things to distinguish: log *storage* and log *display*; by default CasperJS won't print the logs to the standard output. In order to do so, you must enable the ``verbose`` Casper option::
var casper = require('casper').create({
verbose: true
});
Also, by default Casper is configured to filter logging which is under the ``error`` level; you can override this setting by configuring the ``logLevel`` option::
var casper = require('casper').create({
verbose: true,
logLevel: 'debug'
});
You can also dump a JSON log of your Casper suite just by rendering the contents of the ``Casper.result.log`` property::
var casper = require('casper').create({
// ...
casper.run(function() {
require('utils').dump(this.result.log);
this.exit();
});
Last, if you print log messages to the standard output using the ``verbose`` option, you'll get some fancy colors::
var casper = require('casper').create({
verbose: true,
logLevel: 'debug'
})
casper.log('this is a debug message', 'debug');
casper.log('and an informative one', 'info');
casper.log('and a warning', 'warning');
casper.log('and an error', 'error');
casper.exit();
This will give the following output:

.. hint::
CasperJS doesn't write logs on the filesystem. You have to implement this by yourself if needed.
