Python retry package - tenacity : How to log the root cause of exception?

As discussed in this question I am using tenacity to do retries.

A toy code looks like below

import logging
from tenacity import retry
import tenacity


@retry(wait=tenacity.wait_incrementing(start=10, increment=10, max=100), stop=tenacity.stop_after_attempt(3))
def print_msg():
    logging.info('Hello')
    logging.info("World")
    raise Exception('Test error')


if __name__ == '__main__':
    logging.basicConfig(
        format='%(asctime)s,%(msecs)d %(levelname)-8s [%(filename)s:%(lineno)d] %(message)s',
        datefmt='%d-%m-%Y:%H:%M:%S',
        level=logging.INFO)
    logging.info('Starting')
    print_msg()

The output looks like below

21-11-2018:12:40:48,586 INFO     [retrier.py:18] Starting
21-11-2018:12:40:48,586 INFO     [retrier.py:8] Hello

    raise value
RetryError: RetryError[<Future at 0x109fa6150 state=finished raised Exception>]

Can someone let me know how can I log the root cause of the exception?

you could see the whole exception chain under python3

exactly, which makes reraise=True unnecessary. also, with reraise=True you are in fact losing valuable information:

  • reraise=True
$ python demo.py

09-03-2022:12:01:38,556 INFO     [demo.py:8] Hello

    result = fn(*args, **kwargs)
  File "demo.py", line 10, in print_msg
    raise Exception('Test error')
Exception: Test error
  • reraise=False

  File "demo.py", line 10, in print_msg
    raise Exception('Test error')
Exception: Test error

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

  File "demo.py", line 19, in <module>
    print_msg()
  File "/home/demo/.venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/tenacity/__init__.py", line 324, in wrapped_f

    do = self.iter(retry_state=retry_state)
  File "/home/demo/.venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/tenacity/__init__.py", line 361, in iter
    raise retry_exc from fut.exception()
tenacity.RetryError: RetryError[<Future at 0x7fbedb05d760 state=finished raised Exception>]

you could use reraise=True option, there is no verbose doc, but you could read its source:

...
  File "53406953.py", line 10, in print_msg
    raise Exception('Test error')
Exception: Test error
