Better Debug Logging

[nmccready]

Optional debug logging would go a long way in figuring out what is going on in the clasp API when things do not work as expected. A very common practice in the node community is to utilize debug. If you want to gain lazy logging please have a look at debug-fabulous (shameless plug).

Expected Behavior

export DEBUG="@google/clasp*"

@google/clasp:getProjectSettings oh hi I am a debug statement

To turn on useful optional log messages.

Actual Behavior

Only errors are logged.

Examples

PRs or detailed designs are welcome. Debugging clasp is an issue for me as well, and would like to see improvement.

I'll try to get to a PR when I get back to working on google app scripts again. Thanks.

Clasp has been split into multiple files with a testing framework that tests individual utility methods.

I don't know exactly what debug logging this issue would like to see, but I don't think contributors would need a DEBUG setting to make debugging clasp easier. Better testing is preferred over better logging.

I'll close this issue, but feel free to create a new one when there's something specific that should be added to clasp.
