Provides easier access to a shared OptparsePlus::CLILogger instance.

Include this module into your class, and logger provides access to a shared logger. This is handy if you want all of your clases to have access to the same logger, but don't want to (or aren't able to) pass it around to each class.

This also provides methods for direct logging without going through the logger

Example

class MyClass
  include OptparsePlus::CLILogging

  def doit
    debug("About to doit!")
    if results
      info("We did it!"
    else
      error("Something went wrong")
    end
    debug("Done doing it")
  end
end

Note that every class that mixes this in shares the *same logger instance*, so if you call change_logger, this will change the logger for all classes that mix this in. This is likely what you want.

change_logger(new_logger)

Change the global logger that includers will use. Useful if you don't want the default configured logger. Note that the change_logger version is preferred because Ruby will often parse logger = Logger.new as the declaration of, and assignment to, of a local variable. You'd need to do self.logger=Logger.new to be sure. This method is a bit easier.

new_logger

the new logger. May not be nil and should be a logger of some kind

Also aliased as: logger=
# File lib/optparse_plus/cli_logging.rb, line 48
def change_logger(new_logger)
  raise ArgumentError,"Logger may not be nil" if new_logger.nil?
  @@logger = new_logger
  @@logger.level = @log_level if defined?(@log_level) && @log_level
end
debug(progname = nil, &block)

pass-through to logger.debug(progname,&block)

# File lib/optparse_plus/cli_logging.rb, line 58
def debug(progname = nil, &block); logger.debug(progname,&block); end
error(progname = nil, &block)

pass-through to logger.error(progname,&block)

# File lib/optparse_plus/cli_logging.rb, line 64
def error(progname = nil, &block); logger.error(progname,&block); end
fatal(progname = nil, &block)

pass-through to logger.fatal(progname,&block)

# File lib/optparse_plus/cli_logging.rb, line 66
def fatal(progname = nil, &block); logger.fatal(progname,&block); end

pass-through to logger.info(progname,&block)

# File lib/optparse_plus/cli_logging.rb, line 60

logger()

Access the shared logger. All classes that include this module will get the same logger via this method.

# File lib/optparse_plus/cli_logging.rb, line 36
def logger
  @@logger ||= CLILogger.new
end
logger=(new_logger)
Alias for: change_logger
use_log_level_option(args = {})

Call this if you've included OptparsePlus::Main to set up a --log-level option for your app that will allow the user to configure the logging level. You can pass an optional hash with :toggle_debug_on_signal => <SIGNAME> to enable runtime toggling of the log level by sending the signal <SIGNAME> to your app

args

optional hash

Example:

main do 
  # your app
end

use_log_level_option

go!

Example with runtime toggling:

main do 
  # your app
end

use_log_level_option :toggle_debug_on_signal => 'USR1'

go!
# File lib/optparse_plus/cli_logging.rb, line 103
def use_log_level_option(args = {})
  on("--log-level LEVEL",LOG_LEVELS,'Set the logging level',
                                    '(' + LOG_LEVELS.keys.join('|') + ')',
                                    '(Default: info)') do |level|
    @log_level = level
    @log_level_original = level
    @log_level_toggled = false
    logger.level = level

    setup_toggle_trap(args[:toggle_debug_on_signal])
  end
end
warn(progname = nil, &block)

pass-through to logger.warn(progname,&block)

# File lib/optparse_plus/cli_logging.rb, line 62
def warn(progname = nil, &block); logger.warn(progname,&block); end
