logging of `zola serv`

[emdete]

zola serv doesnt log anything but reload of content. it would be nice to have an access log and a log about what zola did to serv the request (for example shich files where considered).

this feature could be optional and enabled by a command line option.

cause for this request:

i had a page that showed a 404 with no further notice from zola serv. when i ran zola build an error was shown. it would speed up debugging if that error would be shown in zola serv as well.

Do you have a way to reproduce that? zola build and zola serve call the same functions to build the site.

mainly zola serve doesnt log anything here when serving files. its just silent. it logs errors when files change but it doesnt seem to logg all.

i often ran into the problem that i have zola serve running but if i restart it it doesnt come up again complaining with an error. so either errors should stop zola or errors should not prevent from starting. sometimes that error wasnt shown before.

i havent figured out yet which errors arent shown - need some more expirience with zola :)

Ah I think i remember a similar issue where the Tera errors were not properly unrolled on reload, i'll have a look

Were you using 0.15.3?

I won't add logging to zola serve, it would be too much of a mess with all the parallelism anyway.
