I have an ApexDebugLog class that logs errors by creating a record in my own custom object when something goes wrong. In 2 separate batch classes I'm using this logging class to log errors. If I just pass a short, simple string into my long text area fields in my logging custom object, everything works well.
The problem is that I really want to pass in a list of ids converted to a string into that field so that I can see all the ids that the operation failed on. When I do this using String.valueOf(listOfids), I get the first 10 ids and then a "..." and that's it. If I try other things like string.join(listOfids,',') or serializePretty into a JSON and then deserialize, the record doesn't come through at all.
Can anyone explain what is going on here and how I can get my entire list of ids into my long text area field? (Max length is 10,000 characters).
Here's the logging class (taken from https://gist.github.com/miragedeb/70d5b70a6f73c8530db7):
global class ApexDebugLog { /* A Virtual Class that Defines the Structure of a Log */ public virtual class Log{ public String Type; public String ApexClass; public String Method; public String RecordId; public String Message; public String StackTrace; } /* A Class that Extends the Virtual Class - Log to define a log of type - Error */ public class Error extends Log{ public Error(String cls, String routine, String recId, Exception ex){ this.Type = 'Error'; this.ApexClass = cls; this.Method = routine; this.RecordId = recId; this.Message = ex.getMessage(); this.StackTrace = ex.getStackTraceString(); } } /* A Class that Extends the Virtual Class - Log to define a log of type - Information */ public class Information extends Log{ public Information(String cls, String routine, String recId, String msg){ this.Type = 'Information'; this.ApexClass = cls; this.Method = routine; this.RecordId = recId; this.Message = msg; this.StackTrace = NULL; } } /* A Public Method that can be utilized by other Apex Classes to create a record into the Apex Debug Log object stating the Error or Information. */ public void createLog(Log logToCreate){ try{ /* Ensure that we're well within the Governor Limits. The creation of the Log shouldn't disturb the execution of that Apex Class that utilizes this method to create a log. */ if( (Limits.getDMLRows() < Limits.getLimitDMLRows()) && (Limits.getDMLStatements() < Limits.getLimitDMLStatements()) ) { Apex_Debug_Log__c apexDebuglog = new Apex_Debug_Log__c( Type__c = logToCreate.Type, Apex_Class__c = logToCreate.ApexClass, Method__c = logToCreate.Method, Record_Id__c = logToCreate.RecordId, Message__c = logToCreate.Message, Stack_Trace__c = logToCreate.StackTrace ); Database.insert(apexDebuglog, FALSE); } else{ System.debug('The Governor Limits have already been exhausted and hence failed to create a Log!'); } } catch(DMLException ex){ System.debug('Something fatal has occurred and hence failed to create a Log! Error:' + ex.getMessage()); } } } Here's an example usage in my batch class of this class. I have a private method that I use to convert the ids into a string and then I send that into the logging class.
private String convertToIds(List<sObject> inputList) { List<Id> ids = new List<Id>(); for(sobject so:inputList) { ids.add(so.id); } return 'testString'; //return string.join(ids,','); //return String.valueOf(ids); //JSON.serializePretty(ids); } .... try{ insert exportRecords; } catch(Exception e){ new ApexDebugLog().createLog( new ApexDebugLog.Error( 'KlitaSyncBatchClass', 'execute - insert to Misrad_Haklita_Export__c', convertToIds(exportRecords), e ) ); }
