Troubleshooting Flow

1. Check Recent Errors

Start by pulling the latest errors across all functions:

npx base44 logs --level error

2. Drill Into a Specific Function

If you know which function is failing:

npx base44 logs --function <function_name> --level error

3. Inspect a Time Range

Correlate with user-reported issue timestamps:

npx base44 logs --function <function_name> --since <start_time> --until <end_time>

4. Analyze the Logs

  • Look for stack traces and error messages in the output
  • Check timestamps to correlate with user-reported issues
  • Use --limit to fetch more entries if the default 50 isn't enough
