When I was coding some shells today, and after getting used to the invaluable query logs when working with controllers/views, it didn’t take much to realize that one of my favorite features in CakePHP just stopped working. When I asked on irc, gwoo said it doesn’t work.

I needed those and I wanted to avoid having to use the MySQL logging, so I started digging in the code until I got it fixed. So, if you’re like me, and want to optimize every single call made to your database, there is only one line to edit and that’s in /cake/console/cake.php at the bottom of the ShellDispatcher::__bootstrap() method:

//remove this line
Configure::write('debug', 1);
For some reason, they just decided to overwrite the debug settings you made in your core.php - I think someone had it there and just forgot about it because it’s supposed to be showing those errors. If you look at DbSource::showLog(), you will notice that it already takes care of separating between queries made using the command line (shells) and the ones using the browser (http) to show lines instead of table rows…

I really can’t answer what’s the reason for overwriting my debug settings but so far, removing it, hasn’t affected anything else, so I’ll consider it fixed for now. You have any idea why it’s there?
