Tracy error noticed in session string; can't get it to store a log?

[BrendonKoz]

I just noticed today, while trying to inspect headers (sent from our host server to see why a "download" attribute on a file link wasn't renaming a file), that there was a TracyDebugger message embedded within the session string (when logged in as an admin), but after enabling all available error logging in the module (and making sure I was using the latest version), I'm still not seeing any log of the error (I'm hopeful a textual log would provide more detail). I can see it's line 14, but since Tracy has better insight into my file structure, I wasn't sure which file... I don't get this error message on my development server.

P.S. - Is it safe to delete tracy-2.x folders in the module folder, and if so, which ones?

@BrendonKoz - the tracyCodeError cookie is only ever set by the Console Panel so I think that might not be related at all to the download issue. In fact I am not Tracy will be able to help you with that because the html download attribute isn't PHP. Or am I missing something?

As for the tracy-2.x folders - each is a different version depending on the version of the PHP you are running: https://github.com/adrianbj/TracyDebugger/blob/d48ebdc0d962c34042651f82b388df93e872ab81/TracyDebugger.module.php#L355-L366

You can delete the unused ones if you want, but they'll just come back next time you update Tracy. May I ask why you want to delete them?

Ah, sorry to mix the two things together. The download issue was backstory on why I was looking in the console and happened to see the error found within the session cookie string. The actual question related to Tracy was how I might be able to expose that error message (from the session cookie) in a log, if at all.

I was thinking it was remnant files/folders from prior module versions that were upgraded, but if they're intended to be there, then I have no need or desire to remove them. Thanks for the quick clarification there!

The error message in the session cookie will be displayed in the console results pane on page reload - it's not logged because it will only ever be populated from code that is run in the console panel.

Ohh. Sorry; you said that first but I didn't quite catch it. Thank you for reiterating!! 🙏
