alexkli opened a new issue #49: [activation DB agent] add X-OW-EXTRA-LOGGING header
URL: https://github.com/apache/openwhisk-wskdebug/issues/49
 
 
   Adapt for an upcoming (optional) feature in Openwhisk: The idea is to not store anymore the activation records in the database for _blocking_ successful activations. This means that `wsk activations list` and `wsk activation get <id>` won’t return anything for these activations.
   
   But it can be forced by setting a header when invoking the action:
   
   ```
   X-OW-EXTRA-LOGGING: on
   ```
   
   This would have to be set when invoking the helper functions [`<name>_wskdebug_invoked`](https://github.com/apache/openwhisk-wskdebug/blob/master/agent/agent-activationdb.js#L50) and [`<name> _wskdebug_completed `](https://github.com/apache/openwhisk-wskdebug/blob/fa5b0b48fa7e3bad922b94ee80e5ff6f70800ded/src/agentmgr.js#L403).
   
   It might be tricky to add a custom header in `openwhisk().actions.invoke()`. But [looking at the code](https://github.com/apache/openwhisk-client-js/blob/9f19b2e763c849c0e40162197ff8691573632d15/lib/client.js#L160-L169) it _might_ be possible using
   
   ```
   actions.invoke()({
       name: "action",
       params: result,
       blocking: true,
       headers: {
           "X-OW-EXTRA-LOGGING": "on"
       }
   });
   ```
   
   This might just be a side effect, not necessarily a supported way. And this might "clear" the default authorization header, in which case one would have to construct & set it here.
