I am working on a custom project and developing my own extensions and
plugins. Additionally, I am integrating third party extensions into my
Radiant site. Periodically, these custom or third party extensions have
issues that prevent the application from properly loading, particularly
when uploading a site to a host. The error message you get in console
sometimes is cryptic and so you’re not really even thinking that an
extension may be to blame. At least this was true with me…
I found it extremely helpful for debugging to put a line something like
this at the top of my extension files:
puts “Loading MyExtension…”
Since then I’ve simply moved this to a separate file:
load_loaded_dependencies.rb:
module Dependencies
alias old_log_call log_call
def log_call(args)
begin
relative_filename =
(args[0].to_s.match(’/vendor/.’)[0]).to_s.gsub(’/vendor/’,’’) rescue
nil
puts “Loading dependency: #{relative_filename}” if
relative_filename && relative_filename != @@last_relative_filename
@@last_relative_filename = relative_filename
rescue
ensure
old_log_call args
end
end
end
Then, I simply require this file at the top of my environment.rb file.
Hope this is useful to someone else.
