Make Exception Errors More Visible or Alert On Them

Open gaia opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

it would be great to have a summary of exception errors at the end. they are buried in the output when you use -v.

Additionally, if you dont use -v and look for them you don't get notified they are happening. It would be good to get an alert, maybe once a day, or even on every single run, that there are exceptions to be checked.

Which exceptions/error in particular are hidden? What is the content of your configuration file?

Any of the possible exceptions that can occur with the tasks set (not urlwatch errors, assume urlwatch works and the syntax for the task is wrong, or permissions to run the task are not correct). You have to run with -v, they get flashed on the screen as it quickly scrolls.

A) you don't get a notification at the end of the output "scroll up and see the errors above", so you miss that the task is not working B) when you run without -v AND there is an error, it should alert the user
