Libraries should use the [`log`](https://docs.rs/log) crate instead. + +### In executables + +It must be added along with `log` to the project dependencies: + +```toml +[dependencies] +log = "0.4.0" +env_logger = "0.9.0" +``` + +`env_logger` must be initialized as early as possible in the project. After it's initialized, you can use the `log` macros to do actual logging. + +```rust +#[macro_use] +extern crate log; + +fn main() { + env_logger::init(); + + info!("starting up"); + + // ... +} +``` + +Then when running the executable, specify a value for the **`RUST_LOG`** +environment variable that corresponds with the log messages you want to show. + +```bash +$ RUST_LOG=info ./main +[2018-11-03T06:09:06Z INFO default] starting up +``` + +The letter case is not significant for the logging level names; e.g., `debug`, +`DEBUG`, and `dEbuG` all represent the same logging level. Therefore, the +previous example could also have been written this way, specifying the log +level as `INFO` rather than as `info`: + +```bash +$ RUST_LOG=INFO ./main +[2018-11-03T06:09:06Z INFO default] starting up +``` + +So which form should you use? For consistency, our convention is to use lower +case names. Where our docs do use other forms, they do so in the context of +specific examples, so you won't be surprised if you see similar usage in the +wild. + +The log levels that may be specified correspond to the [`log::Level`][level-enum] +enum from the `log` crate. They are: + + * `error` + * `warn` + * `info` + * `debug` + * `trace` + +[level-enum]: https://docs.rs/log/latest/log/enum.Level.html "log::Level (docs.rs)" + +There is also a pseudo logging level, `off`, which may be specified to disable +all logging for a given module or for the entire application. As with the +logging levels, the letter case is not significant. + +`env_logger` can be configured in other ways besides an environment variable. See [the examples](https://github.com/env-logger-rs/env_logger/tree/main/examples) for more approaches. + +### In tests + +Tests can use the `env_logger` crate to see log messages generated during that test: + +```toml +[dependencies] +log = "0.4.0" + +[dev-dependencies] +env_logger = "0.9.0" +``` + +```rust +#[macro_use] +extern crate log; + +fn add_one(num: i32) -> i32 { + info!("add_one called with {}", num); + num + 1 +} + +#[cfg(test)] +mod tests { + use super::*; + + fn init() { + let _ = env_logger::builder().is_test(true).try_init(); + } + + #[test] + fn it_adds_one() { + init(); + + info!("can log from the test too"); + assert_eq!(3, add_one(2)); + } + + #[test] + fn it_handles_negative_numbers() { + init(); + + info!("logging from another test"); + assert_eq!(-7, add_one(-8)); + } +} +``` + +Assuming the module under test is called `my_lib`, running the tests with the +`RUST_LOG` filtering to info messages from this module looks like: + +```bash +$ RUST_LOG=my_lib=info cargo test + Running target/debug/my_lib-... + +running 2 tests +[INFO my_lib::tests] logging from another test +[INFO my_lib] add_one called with -8 +test tests::it_handles_negative_numbers ... ok +[INFO my_lib::tests] can log from the test too +[INFO my_lib] add_one called with 2 +test tests::it_adds_one ... ok + +test result: ok. 2 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored; 0 measured +``` + +Note that `env_logger::try_init()` needs to be called in each test in which you +want to enable logging. Additionally, the default behavior of tests to +run in parallel means that logging output may be interleaved with test output. +Either run tests in a single thread by specifying `RUST_TEST_THREADS=1` or by +running one test by specifying its name as an argument to the test binaries as +directed by the `cargo test` help docs: + +```bash +$ RUST_LOG=my_lib=info cargo test it_adds_one + Running target/debug/my_lib-... + +running 1 test +[INFO my_lib::tests] can log from the test too +[INFO my_lib] add_one called with 2 +test tests::it_adds_one ... ok + +test result: ok. 1 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored; 0 measured +``` + +## Configuring log target + +By default, `env_logger` logs to stderr. If you want to log to stdout instead, +you can use the `Builder` to change the log target: + +```rust +use std::env; +use env_logger::{Builder, Target}; + +let mut builder = Builder::from_default_env(); +builder.target(Target::Stdout); + +builder.init(); +``` + +## Stability of the default format + +The default format won't optimise for long-term stability, and explicitly makes no guarantees about the stability of its output across major, minor or patch version bumps during `0.x`. + +If you want to capture or interpret the output of `env_logger` programmatically then you should use a custom format. |
