Make debug builds more usable #4683
Conversation
This pr makes debug builds more usable in terms of `cargo run -- --dev`. 1. `--dev` activates `--execution native`, iff `--execution` is not given or no sub `--execution-*` is given. 2. It was probably a mistake to compile WASM in debug for a debug build. So, we now build the WASM binary always as `release` (if not requested differently by the user). So, we trade compilation time for a better debug experience.

This will default to execution even if strat is ovewritten in CLI, I thought you wanted to use strat and only default to execution, no?

Seems like we need to test whether exec was explicitly set or if it's a default as part of is_dev being true.

Okay, ignore the last commit. |

The previous behavior was by default printing runtime logs including extrinsic failing messages and it was disabled by some logger changes and people were wondering why they can no longer see the logging messages from runtime. Those logs are not useful for a normal full node but super useful for developments purpose. |

Do we also need to bump this on other substrate node template based projects?

When you want to always have release" builds, yes.
Yeah these logs were disabled because of people complaining about the noise in the output when syncing :) FWIW, I will make sure that we document this. |
