[coldbox 4.2.0] How to log codeerrors wthin views via logbox, if an errortemplate is used

I upgraded from cb3.8 to cb4.2 and found that errors that occur within view-templates are not automatically logged with logbox. How can I do that?
Thanks, Martin

It all depends how you have configured LogBox martin, can you share your LogBox confriguration

logBox =
{
// Define Appenders
appenders =
{
/*coldboxTracer =
{
class = “coldbox.system.logging.appenders.ColdboxTracerAppender”
}, /
LogMail =
{
class = “coldbox.system.logging.appenders.EmailAppender”, properties =
{
subject = “Fehler in ueberwachung-Infobase”, from = “ueberwachung-infobase@xxx.de”, to = “admin@xxx.de”
}, levelMin = “FATAL”, levelMax = “FATAL”
},LogMail2 =
{
class = “coldbox.system.logging.appenders.EmailAppender”, properties =
{
subject = “Fehler in ueberwachung-Infobase”, from = “ueberwachung-infobase@xxx.de”, to = “infobase@xxx.de”
}, levelMin = “FATAL”, levelMax = “ERROR”
}, LogFile =
{
class = “coldbox.system.logging.appenders.FileAppender”, properties =
{async=true,
filePath = “/wartung_files/logfiles/”, filename = “logfile”, fileEncoding = “UTF-8”, autoExpand = ‘true’, fileMaxSize = ‘2000’, fileMaxArchives = ‘20’
}, levelMin = “FATAL”, levelMax = “WARN”
}, LogDB =
{
class = “coldbox.system.logging.appenders.DBAppender”, properties =
{ async=true,
dsn = “ueberwachung_2013”, table = “tb_coldboxlog”, autocreate = false
}, levelMin = “FATAL”, levelMax = “WARN”
}
},
// Root Logger
root =
{
levelmin = “FATAL”, levelmax = “WARN”, appenders = ""
},
};

logbox.categories[“coldbox.system”]={levelmin=“OFF”,levelmax=“OFF”,appenders="*"};
}

Do you have an exception handler configured in your config/ColdBox.cfc file like so:

exceptionHandler = “main.onException”,

ColdBox will only automatically log the error if you do NOT have a n exception handler. If you do have an exception handler, it’s up to you to log the error yourself.
Ex:

function onException(){
log.error( prc.exception.getMessage(), prc.exception );
}

I have an exception-handler configured. Thanks Brad, “log.error( prc.exception.getMessage(), prc.exception )” is what I wanted to know.
