Troubleshoot Production Issues
Prerequisites
Verify authentication before fetching logs:
npx base44 whoami
If not authenticated or token expired, instruct user to run npx base44 login.
Resolve app context in one of these ways:
# From a linked local project
cat base44/.app.jsonc
# Or explicitly
npx base44 logs --app-id app_123
Available Commands

Troubleshooting Flow
1. Check Recent Errors
Start by pulling the latest errors across all functions:
npx base44 logs --level error
2. Drill Into a Specific Function
If you know which function is failing:
npx base44 logs --function <function_name> --level error
If you are outside the project directory, pass the app explicitly:
npx base44 logs --app-id app_123 --function <function_name> --level error
3. Inspect a Time Range
Correlate with user-reported issue timestamps:
npx base44 logs --function <function_name> --since <start_time> --until <end_time>
4. Analyze the Logs
- Look for stack traces and error messages in the output
- Check timestamps to correlate with user-reported issues
- Use
--limitto fetch more entries if the default 50 isn't enough
