Tips for debugging/development
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Turn on debug logging
Whether you are working on a new engine or trying to eliminate a bug, it is always a good idea
to turn on debug logging. When debug logging is enabled a stack trace appears,
instead of the cryptic ``Internal Server Error`` message. It can be turned on by setting
``debug: False`` to ``debug: True`` in settings.yml.
2. Run ``./manage.sh tests`` before creating a PR.
Failing build on Travis is common because of PEP8 checks. So a new commit must be created
containing these format fixes. This phase can be skipped if ``./manage.sh tests`` is run
locally before creating a PR.
