How to toggle 5.2beta out of debug mode?

Development Beta Testing
1

The beta (on Fedora and the AIO) appear to default to debug mode.

How do we switch to regular use mode??

2

What do you mean by debug mode?

3

The “Debug” submenu exists in the Tools menu. And the extra Edit and Load buttons exist in the Plugin Managerv2 addon. Neither of those should exist normally.

You need to run Gramps with the optimize (-O) flag.

5

Are the Tools - > Debug submenu items supposed to be compatible with 5.2?

Running “Generate testcases for Persons and Families…” on the beta2 for Windows gives the following errors to the console.

The Check Localized Date Displayer and Parser... tool also failed with looping error after the above error. Gramps had to be killed with the Task Manager. But it worked after Gramps was restarted.

@Nick-Hall
Is the Tools → Debug tools → Generate testcases for Persons and Families… supposed to work with Gramps 5.2beta2 AIO ?

I haven’t tried it on 5.1 since I cannot seem to get any variation of the -O optimize CLI parameter to work. (Neither as a Python3 parameter nor as a Gramps parameter.)

@DavidMStraub has created a dummy tree generator for Gramps Web stress testing. It seems like integrating the 2 would be a force multiplier.

The test case generator should work on version 5.2, but it isn’t used much.

Could you try it on Linux? It blows up (as described) when I try it in the AIO beta2.
