how to show exception traces?

[scott2b]

How do I get the server to show my application exceptions in development? I guess I figured that's what the debug flag is for, but it still just logs out a 500 when debug is enabled.

Ok, I see now that debug sends the stack trace as the payload to the client. So, e.g. with httpx, you can get this from the text property of the response.

And, I guess, if really needed, you can raise the exception on the server with an after_exception handler like:

async def after_exception_handler(exc: Exception, scope: "Scope", state: "State") -> None:
    raise Exception

...

app = Starlite(after_exception=after_exception_handler ....

You can also add an app level exception handler that logs exceptions.
