Debugging Odoo compute fields with ir.logging

I was trying determine why a computed field wasn’t working as expected and was really annoyed at the fact that log isn’t available on that context. We can create a record on the ir.logging table, though.

(Tested on V13)

logging = self.env['ir.logging']
def log(msg, logging=logging):
  logging.create(dict(
    type='client',
    name='my_compute_field',
    path='n/a',
    line='n/a',
    func='n/a',
    message=str(msg)
  ))

for rec in records:
  # [...]

  log("Hello from the computed field")

  # [...]

  log(rec.value)

  # [...]
