ComfyUI Node: 🗎 Log File

Log File [Dream]:

The Log File [Dream] node is designed to facilitate the logging of various entries into a specified log file, providing a structured way to record and track information during your AI art projects. This node allows you to consolidate multiple log entries into a single file, making it easier to monitor and debug your processes. By enabling or disabling logging, directing output to standard output (stdout), and customizing log file paths and names, you can tailor the logging behavior to suit your specific needs. This node is particularly useful for keeping a detailed record of events, values, and states, which can be invaluable for troubleshooting and improving your workflows.

Log File [Dream] Input Parameters:

log_directory

This parameter specifies the directory where the log file will be saved. It allows you to organize your logs by directing them to a specific folder. The default value is the output directory defined in the comfy_paths module.

log_filename

This parameter sets the name of the log file. You can customize it to reflect the content or purpose of the log entries. The default value is "dreamlog.txt".

stdout

This boolean parameter determines whether the log entries should also be printed to the standard output (stdout). If set to True, log entries will be visible in the console, which can be useful for real-time monitoring. The default value is True.

active

This boolean parameter controls whether logging is active. If set to False, no log entries will be recorded, allowing you to disable logging without removing the node. The default value is True.

clock_has_24_hours

This boolean parameter specifies whether the clock format used in the log entries should be 24-hour format. If set to True, times will be logged in 24-hour format; otherwise, a 12-hour format will be used. The default value is True.

entry_0, entry_1, entry_2, entry_3, entry_4, entry_5, entry_6, entry_7

These parameters accept log entries of type LogEntry.ID. You can provide up to eight log entries to be recorded in the log file. Each entry can contain text or data that you want to log.

Log File [Dream] Output Parameters:

This node does not produce any output parameters. Its primary function is to write log entries to a file and optionally to stdout.

Log File [Dream] Usage Tips:

• Ensure that the log_directory is set to a valid path where you have write permissions to avoid file access errors.
• Use descriptive names for log_filename to easily identify the purpose of each log file.
• Enable stdout if you need to monitor log entries in real-time during execution.
• Use the active parameter to toggle logging on and off without removing the node from your workflow.
• Combine multiple log entries using the entry_0 to entry_7 parameters to create comprehensive logs.

Log File [Dream] Common Errors and Solutions:

"Permission denied: '/path/to/log_directory'"

• Explanation: This error occurs when the specified log directory does not have write permissions.
• Solution: Ensure that the directory exists and that you have the necessary permissions to write to it.

"Invalid log entry type"

• Explanation: This error occurs when a provided log entry is not of type LogEntry.ID.
• Solution: Ensure that all log entries passed to the node are of the correct type.

"File not found: '/path/to/log_directory/log_filename'"

• Explanation: This error occurs when the specified log file path is invalid or the directory does not exist.
• Solution: Verify that the log_directory and log_filename parameters are set correctly and that the directory exists.
