ExceptBot: Django Exception Logger with AI Suggestions for Fixing

Imagine: An exception is thrown on your site and it is critical.
You need a solution fast.

ExceptBot is a Django middleware application that captures and logs exceptions that occur within your Django project. Site admins can quickly view exceptions, the code where the problem originated, and with a button-click feed all that info to ChatGPT to get a possible solution.

Features

• Automatically logs exceptions, including:
  • The Python Code and line where the exception occurred
  • The full stack trace
  • URL path, Exception type, timestamp, user (if authenticated)
• Gets AI Suggestions
  • Sends all relevant info to ChatGPT API:
    • Stack trace
    • Source code producing the exception
    • line causing the exception
• Superuser-restricted views to:
  • View a list of unresolved exceptions
  • Mark exceptions as resolved
  • View detailed information for each exception
  • Tracks which superuser resolved an exception and when

Installation

1. Install the ExceptBot library

pip3 install exceptbot

2. Add 'ExceptBot' to INSTALLED_APPS in your project's settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # ...
    'exceptbot',
    # ...
]

3. Include the middleware in the MIDDLEWARE list in your settings.py:

MIDDLEWARE = [
    # ...
    'exceptbot.middleware.ExceptBotMiddleware',
    # ...
]

4. Include the ExceptBot URLs in your project's urls.py:

from django.urls import path, include

urlpatterns = [
  # ...
  path('exceptbot/', include('exceptbot.urls')),
  # ...
]

Run migrations to create the necessary database tables and set up static files

$ python3 manage.py makemigrations exceptbot
$ python3 manage.py migrate exceptbot
$ python3 manage.py collectstatic --no-input

Once integrated into your Django project:

• setup the Chat GPT connection (When you have an account, your API key is here)
• Any exception that occurs will be automatically logged by the middleware.
• Superusers can navigate to /exceptbot/ to view a list of unresolved exceptions.
• Click on an exception to view its detailed information.
• Superusers can mark exceptions as resolved, which will also record who resolved it and when.
