bug-buddy 1.0.4

Auto cache and track Python exceptions via Python decorators.

Bug Buddy

Bug Buddy is a python library that helps you take action on exceptions in your code.

It is primarily a decorator that will locally cache exceptions and, if specified, upload the exception as a gitlab or github issue. Too often do we encounter bugs in our code that are not properly managed and fixed. Prescribing to the notion that code is in an ever-improving state, Bug Buddy helps devlopers track both high-frequency and one-off bugs by autocaching locally and uploading to a remote so they may be linked to appropriate update branches.

Installation

You can install Bug Buddy using pip:

pip install bug-buddy

Usage

First, set your remote's API token as an environment variable for your remote, these can be personal, project, or group access tokens.

Remote	Env Variable
Gitlab	$GITLAB_TOKEN
Github	$GITHUB_TOKEN

To use Bug Buddy, you need to import it and decorate the top-level callable of your code with @bug_buddy. For example:

import pandas as pd
from bug_buddy import bug_buddy

@bug_buddy(project_id=43922234, gitlab=True)
def main() -> None:
    """Runner function.

    Create a dataframe with two columns.

    Expect to throw a ValueError with the exception logged
    to Gitlab by bug_buddy.
    """

    pd.DataFrame({"a": [1, 2, 3], "b": [4, 5]})

Running this code, Bug Buddy returns the exception traceback just as you'd normally expect.

As requested in @bug_buddy, the issue is logged to Gitlab

In addition to the remote, the issue is cached to $HOME/.bug_buddy.cache, to enable offline bug tracking.

CLI

I'm still determining whether there is a need/desire to implement bug-buddy as a CLI tool. Its programatic integration serves its use case quite well at the moment. If you disagree please feel free to make a ticket, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Parameters

The @bug_buddy decorator accepts the following parameters:

• project_id: The ID of the repository that issues are to be created for. You can find the ID by going to the project's homepage and clicking on the Project information button.
• gitlab: A boolean value indicating whether to upload the exception to Gitlab or not. Default is False.
• github: A boolean value indicating whether to upload the exception to Github or not. Default is False.

Features

Bug Buddy has the following features:

• It supports both Gitlab and Github (IN DEV), and you can choose which one to use by setting the gitlab or github parameter to True.
• It automatically creates a formatted issue for the exception, including the traceback, the code snippet, and the environment information.
• It tags the issue with exception type encountered.
• It caches the exceptions locally in a JSON file stored in $HOME, so you can access them offline or delete them if needed.
