# Evernote Debug Bundle
## Current State
!`node --version 2>/dev/null || echo 'N/A'`
!`python3 --version 2>/dev/null || echo 'N/A'`
## Overview
Comprehensive debugging toolkit for Evernote API integrations, including request/response logging, ENML validation with auto-fix, token inspection, and diagnostic CLI utilities.
## Prerequisites
- Evernote SDK installed
- Node.js environment
- Understanding of common Evernote errors (see `evernote-common-errors`)
## Instructions
### Step 1: Debug Logger
Create a logger that captures API method names, arguments (with token redaction), response times, and error details. Write to both console and file for post-mortem analysis.
```javascript
class EvernoteDebugLogger {
constructor(logFile = 'evernote-debug.log') {
this.logFile = logFile;
this.requests = [];
}
logRequest(method, args, response, duration, error) {
const entry = {
timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
method,
duration: `${duration}ms`,
success: !error,
error: error?.message || error?.errorCode
};
this.requests.push(entry);
fs.appendFileSync(this.logFile, JSON.stringify(entry) + '\n');
}
}
```
### Step 2: Instrumented Client Wrapper
Wrap the NoteStore with a Proxy that automatically logs every API call, measures response time, and catches errors. This adds zero-config debugging to any existing integration.
```javascript
function instrumentNoteStore(noteStore, logger) {
return new Proxy(noteStore, {
get(target, prop) {
if (typeof target[prop] !== 'function') return target[prop];
return async (...args) => {
const start = Date.now();
try {
const result = await target[prop](...args);
logger.logRequest(prop, args, result, Date.now() - start);
return result;
} catch (error) {
logger.logRequest(prop, args, null, Date.now() - start, error);
throw error;
}
};
}
});
}
```
### Step 3: ENML Validator
Validate ENML content against the DTD rules: check for XML declaration, DOCTYPE, `<en-note>` root, forbidden elements, and unclosed tags. Optionally auto-fix common issues (add missing headers, close tags, strip forbidden elements).
### Step 4: Token Inspector
Check token validity by calling `userStore.getUser()`. Report token owner, expiration date (`edam_expires`), account type, and remaining upload quota.
### Step 5: Diagnostic CLI
Create a CLI script with commands: `diagnose` (run all checks), `validate-enml <file>` (validate ENML content), `inspect-token` (show token info), `test-api` (verify API connectivity).
For the full debug logger, instrumented client, ENML auto-fixer, token inspector, and diagnostic CLI, see [Implementation Guide](references/implementation-guide.md).
## Output
- `EvernoteDebugLogger` with file and console output
- Proxy-based instrumented NoteStore wrapper
- ENML validator with auto-fix capability
- Token and account inspector utility
- Diagnostic CLI with `diagnose`, `validate-enml`, `inspect-token` commands
## Error Handling
| Issue | Diagnostic | Solution |
|-------|------------|----------|
| Auth failures | Run `inspect-token` to check expiration | Re-authenticate if expired |
| ENML errors | Run `validate-enml` on content | Auto-fix or manually correct |
| Rate limits | Check request frequency in debug log | Increase delay between calls |
| Missing data | Inspect response in debug log | Verify API parameters (withContent flags) |

- [ENML DTD](http://xml.evernote.com/pub/enml2.dtd)
- [API Reference](https://dev.evernote.com/doc/reference/)
## Next Steps
For rate limit handling, see `evernote-rate-limits`.
## Examples
**Request tracing**: Wrap NoteStore with the instrumented proxy, run your workflow, then review `evernote-debug.log` for slow calls (>2s), failed requests, and rate limit hits.
**ENML debugging**: Pipe note content through the ENML validator to find missing DOCTYPE, forbidden `<script>` tags, or unclosed elements. Use auto-fix mode to correct issues automatically.
