Where to find lightning log files for debugging?

Hi all,

We have thunderbird successfully reading the calendars from scalix with lightning but adding or accepting an event invite does not update the calendar. In fact nothing happens when you click "save" for a new event of accept for an invite. The dialog box just disappears.

I am trying to enable thunderbird logging to see whats going on. The only option under preferences->advanced->general->config editor I can see is extensions.logging.enabled.
I have set this to true, run

export NSPR_LOG_MODULES=4
export NSPR_LOG_FILE="/home/test/Desktop/thunderbird.log"
export export NSPR_LOG_MODULES=IMAP:4

I get messages in the log file but they are IMAP only. Where do the extension debug messages go? Is there another way to debug lightning?

thanks

If you set the following 2 preferences (Preferences->Advanced->Config Editor)

calendar.debug.log true
calendar.debug.verbose.log true

and restart Thunderbird. After that, more information should be available in the "Error Console", which may help in tracking down problems.
