Normally you do not need to access bug report:

 

EurekaLog 7.7.8.2

...

 

It is sufficient to use one of the mentioned above usage cases.

 

However, one particular example of when you want to access a simple bug report is when you are migrating old code from EurekaLog 6. Bug report was removed from OnExceptionNotify event because bug report does not exist outside of exception processing in EurekaLog 7 (unlike EurekaLog 6). For example, if you decide not to handle exception in OnExceptionNotify event handler - then there will be no bug report generated at all, thus saving processing time.

 

If you still want EurekaLog 6 style behavior - then bug report content can be retrieved from Dialog.BugReport property at any time (which is basically a cache of LogBuilder.Report property). For example:

 

uses
  EException,  // for TEurekaExceptionInfo
  ELogBuilder; // for TBaseLogBuilder and RegisterEventEndReportGen
 
procedure UploadToDB(const ACustom: Pointer;
  AExceptionInfo: TEurekaExceptionInfo;
  ALogBuilder: TBaseLogBuilder;
  var CallNextHandler: Boolean);
var
  BugID: Cardinal;
  Report: String;
begin
  BugID  := AExceptionInfo.BugID;
  Report := ALogBuilder.Report;
  // ... write bug report's content to your DB or
  // do whatever you want with it
end;
 
initialization
  RegisterEventEndReportGen(nil, UploadToDB, True);
end.

 

In other words, you should replace your OnExceptionNotify event handler with OnEndReportGen event handler. This event handler will be called like this:

 

UploadToDB
TBaseDialog.SaveBugReport
TBaseDialog.Execute
ShowException
ProcessException
ExceptionManager.Handle
Forms.TApplication.HandleException

 

Alternatively, bug report can be created at any time (on demand) - by using BuildBugReport function:

 

uses
  EException, // for TEurekaExceptionInfo
  ELogBuilder; // for BuildBugReport
 
var
  EI: TEurekaExceptionInfo;
  Report: String;
begin
  try
    // ...
  except
    on E: Exception do
    begin
      EI := ExceptionManager.Info(E);
      // EI = nil for disabled EurekaLog
      // or when exception is ignored
      if Assigned(EI) then
      begin
        Report := BuildBugReport(EI);

        // ... write bug report's content to your DB

        // or do whatever you want with it
      end
    end;  
  end;
