func NewHook

func NewHook() (*test.Hook, func())

NewHook will create a new global hook that can be used for tests after which it will remove when the returned function invoked.

This shouldn't be used when you are writing a new package/structure, you should instead pass the logger to that struct and add the Hook to that struct only, try to avoid the global logger. This has multiple benefits, for example having that struct with specific logger settings that doesn't effect the logger in another part of the application. For example:

type MyNewStruct struct {
		logger   logrus.FieldLogger
}

The more hooks we add to the tests the more memory we are leaking.
