I am trying to debug code by printing/logging from within a gRPC/Go function but the output does not print to the terminal.
fmt.Println()
works in my main()
method, but not in the server callbacks. How can I print from within these gRPC handlers? I'm open to other methods for debugging if there's a different approach too.
Here's the related code from my main()
function. Logging and printing works here:
func main() {
...
lis, err := net.Listen("tcp", fmt.Sprintf("0.0.0.0:%s", os.Getenv("APP_PORT")))
if err != nil {
logger.Error(fmt.Sprintf("Failed start on port: %s", os.Getenv("APP_PORT")), err)
log.Fatalf("Failed to start: %v", err)
}
opts := []grpc.ServerOption{}
s := grpc.NewServer(opts...)
pb.RegisterAuthServiceServer(s, &server{})
// Register reflection service on gRPC server.
reflection.Register(s)
go func() {
fmt.Println("Starting Server...")
if err := s.Serve(lis); err != nil {
log.Fatalf("failed to server: %v", err)
}
}()
// Wait for Control C to exit
ch := make(chan os.Signal, 1)
signal.Notify(ch, os.Interrupt)
// Run until a signal is received
<-ch
fmt.Println("")
fmt.Println("Stopping the server")
s.Stop()
fmt.Println("Closing the listener")
lis.Close()
Then here is one of my handlers, where logging or printing does not output to the terminal where I started the server.
func (*server) AuthUser(ctx context.Context, req *pb.AuthUserRequest) (*pb.AccessToken, error) {
fmt.Println("AuthUser***")
...
