How to Use the Enhanced System
Running Tests
# Test database connection
cd backend
python test_database_connection.py
# Test OAuth flow
python test_oauth_flow.py
Enhanced Logging
The enhanced logging will now provide detailed information:
- Backend: Look for
π [OAuth]
,π± [Accounts]
,β [Accounts]
prefixes - Frontend: Look for
π [Frontend]
andπ [LinkedIn]
prefixes in console
Monitoring Account Creation
- Start Backend:
python app.py
- Start Frontend:
npm run dev
- Add Account: Try to add a LinkedIn account
- Check Logs: Monitor for enhanced logging messages
Expected Results
Successful Account Creation
With the enhanced logging, you should now see:
- OAuth Initiation:
β [Accounts] Add account request for user: <user_id>
- OAuth Callback:
π [OAuth] Starting callback for user: <user_id>
- Token Exchange:
π [OAuth] Token exchange successful
- User Info:
π [OAuth] User info fetched: <user_info>
- Database Insertion:
π [OAuth] Database response: <response>
- Success Confirmation:
π [OAuth] Account linked successfully
Error Detection
If there are issues, you'll see specific error messages:
- Database connection errors
- OAuth configuration issues
- Token exchange failures
- Database insertion problems
