log4cr's Issues

*ignore*

After bugtesting this issue is not one.

Child loggers set to a more specific debug level than their parents will still log to their parents's appenders

As an example of the confusing behavior, see the following failing spec.

Note: as a workaround, you can set the level of the root (or offending) Appender to the same as it's Logger.

it "logs from child loggers but not from parents in the correct circumstances" do
    # root logger setup
    io = IO::Memory.new
    root_appender = Log4cr::Appender.new io
    root_appender.formatter = Logger::Formatter.new do |severity, datetime, progname, message, io|
      io << "[ROOT] " << message
    end
    Log4cr::Logger.root_logger.add_appender root_appender
    Log4cr::Logger.root_logger.level = ::Logger::INFO

    # child logger setup
    child_appender = Log4cr::Appender.new io
    child_appender.formatter = Logger::Formatter.new do |severity, datetime, progname, message, io|
      io << "[CHILD] " << message
    end
    Log4cr::Logger.get("base.special").add_appender child_appender
    Log4cr::Logger.get("base.special").level = ::Logger::DEBUG

    # logging
    Log4cr::Logger.root_logger.info("this should log to root")
    Log4cr::Logger.root_logger.debug("this should not log to anything")
    Log4cr::Logger.get("base").info("this should log to root again")
    Log4cr::Logger.get("base").debug("this should also not log to anything")
    Log4cr::Logger.get("base.special").debug("this should log to child but not root")
    Log4cr::Logger.get("base.special").info("this should log to child AND root")

    # expectation
    io.to_s.should eq <<-END
    [ROOT] this should log to root
    [ROOT] this should log to root again
    [CHILD] this should log to child but not root
    [CHILD] this should log to child AND root
    [ROOT] this should log to child AND root\n
    END
