Producing server logs to help debug methods

Server logs are useful when trying to figure out what has been happening at runtime before a crash. They can also be added to provide additional information when debugging is an issue. This recipe shows you how to add logging to an existing method.

Getting ready

We will add some logging statements to the following method, which saves the stock levels of products to a file (you will also need to add the dependencies of the product and stock modules to the manifest):

from os.path import join as opj
from odoo import models, api, exceptions
EXPORTS_DIR = '/srv/exports'
class ProductProduct(models.Model):
    _inherit = 'product.product'
    @api.model
    def export_stock_level(self, stock_location):
