New submission from Bob Igo:
I am aware of the described behavior of fileConfig() when
disable_existing_loggers is True, but what I am seeing happens whether
disable_existing_loggers is True or False, and it also affects loggers obtained
via future, fresh calls to getLogger(name).
Here's an example where disable_existing_loggers is True, but as I said, the
same happens when it's False:
>>> import logging.config
>>> logging.config.fileConfig('unit_test_logging.conf')
>>> logger = logging.getLogger("foo")
>>> logger.critical("test")
2013-03-21 23:33:04,621 foo CRITICAL test
>>> logging.config.fileConfig('unit_test_logging.conf')
>>> logger = logging.getLogger("foo")
>>> logger.critical("test")
>>>
Note that the final logging attempt silently fails. The thing that appears to
break logging for ever is the second fileConfig() call, and not the following
getLogger() call.
I can get a fresh logger with a different name and use it. (Continued from the
above session):
>>> logger = logging.getLogger("bar")
>>> logger.critical("test")
2013-03-21 23:38:35,613 bar CRITICAL test
This issue does not affect the root logger, when no name is given to
getLogger():
>>> import logging.config
>>> logging.config.fileConfig('unit_test_logging.conf')
>>> logger = logging.getLogger()
>>> logger.critical("test")
2013-03-22 11:49:29,957 root CRITICAL test
>>> logging.config.fileConfig('unit_test_logging.conf')
>>> logger = logging.getLogger()
>>> logger.critical("test")
2013-03-22 11:49:44,966 root CRITICAL test
However, it _does_ affect the root logger when "root" is given as the name to
getLogger():
>>> import logging.config
>>> logging.config.fileConfig('unit_test_logging.conf')
>>> logger = logging.getLogger("root")
>>> logger.critical("test")
2013-03-22 12:42:49,742 root CRITICAL test
>>> logging.config.fileConfig('unit_test_logging.conf')
>>> logger = logging.getLogger("root")
>>> logger.critical("test")
>>>
I can attach the logging config file if desired, but it looks like the issue is
unrelated. I will say that I'm relying on the root logger for all my logging,
but that I use a different name to differentiate how the log is written.
