Have a way for the installer to set all relevant debug flags by default
Certainly useful on like the CLI installer
So in LocalSettings.php, we get near the top:
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set("display_errors", 1);
or even
error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT);
And at the bottom...
$wgShowExceptionDetails = true;
$wgShowSQLErrors = true;
$wgDebugDumpSql = true;
$wgDebugLogFile = ''; Enter a path to use this
Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement
Not really, though, I'm not sure how this should be executed.
In the CLIInstaller, using maybe like --includedebug would work.
For the WebInstaller, I'm not quite so sure, it's an advanced functionality that most people won't want enabled by default...
I think this isn't a bad idea for the CLI installer. Feel free to do it if you have time before me.
Is there still any interest there? It might useful for continuous integration. A Possibility would be to have some basic templates and let us specify which to prepend / append to the LocalSettings.php
Ie something like
$ cat maintenance/settings/enableErrors.php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set("display_errors", 1);
$ cat maintenance/settings/Debugging.php
$wgShowExceptionDetails = true;
$wgShowSQLErrors = true;
$wgDebugDumpSql = true;
Then:
$ php maintenance/install.php \
--prepend settings/enableErrors.php \ --append settings/Debugging.php
