Turning SFTP Debugging Mode in Sublime Text 3 (Mac)
If you've found yourself in a situation where Sublime Text 3 on your Mac has somehow turned on debugging mode for the SFTP plugin, causing logs to be created on your desktop every time you attempt to use it, this article is for you. We will go over the steps to turn off debugging mode and ensure that it stays off.
What is SFTP Debugging Mode?
Debugging mode in the SFTP plugin for Sublime Text allows developers to see detailed information on the plugin's operations. This can be helpful for troubleshooting issues, but it's generally not necessary for regular use. When debugging mode is on, logs are created each time the plugin is used, which can quickly fill up your desktop.
How to Turn Off SFTP Debugging Mode
To turn off debugging mode for SFTP in Sublime Text 3 on your Mac, follow these steps:
- Open Sublime Text 3
- Go to the Preferences menu and select "Package Settings"
- Select "SFTP" from the list of packages
- Select "Settings - User" from the list of settings files
- Locate the "log_level" setting
- Change the value from "debug" to "info" or "warning"
- Save the settings file
```javascript
{
"log_level": "info"
}
```
Setting the log level to "info" or "warning" will turn off debugging mode and prevent logs from being created. It's important to note that if you change the log level back to "debug," debugging mode will be turned on again, and logs will be created.
Preventing SFTP Debugging Mode from Turning On
If you don't need debugging mode, it's best to keep it turned off to avoid creating unnecessary logs. Here are some tips to prevent debugging mode from turning on:
- Avoid changing the SFTP plugin's settings unless necessary
- Be cautious when using third-party plugins or packages, as they can sometimes change settings without your knowledge
- Regularly check your settings to ensure that debugging mode is turned off
Debugging mode for the SFTP plugin in Sublime Text 3 on your Mac can be turned off by changing the log level in the settings. To prevent debugging mode from turning on, avoid changing settings, be cautious with third-party plugins, and regularly check your settings.
