Variables

var TestHandler log.Handler

TestHandler collects log entries during testing.

Functions

func ClearProgress

func ClearProgress()

ClearProgress stops a progress spinner.

func File

func File() string

File returns the log file name.

func Handler

func Handler(entry *log.Entry) error

Handler handles log entries. It multiplexes them into two outputs, writing human-readable messages to STDERR and machine-readable entries to a log file.

TODO: does this need to be synchronised?

func InProgress

func InProgress(message string)

InProgress shows a progress spinner with a message.

func JSON

func JSON(data interface{}) (int, error)

JSON is a convenience function for printing JSON to STDOUT.

func SetDebug

func SetDebug(debug bool)

SetDebug turns debug logging to STDERR on or off.

The log file always writes debug-level entries.

func SetFile

func SetFile(filename string) error

SetFile sets the log file. By default, this is set to a temporary file.

func SetInteractive

func SetInteractive(interactive bool)

SetInteractive turns colors and ANSI control characters on or off.

func Template

func Template(tmpl *template.Template, data interface{}) (string, error)

Template renders a template and its context to a string.

func TemplateFile

func TemplateFile(filename string, data interface{}) (string, error)

TemplateFile renders a template file and its context to string.

func Test

func Test()

Test sets up logging with testing defaults.
