Currently I try to add logging to my plugin that I am developing.

I added the following statement at the top, but it doesn’t produce any output. Does the logging module work within plugins?

import logging

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG, format=' %(asctime)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s')
logging.debug('Start of program')

Works fine here. I see this in my console:

2017-08-26 23:05:25,253 - DEBUG - Start of program

I suggest directly adding a handler for your package and creating logger instances for each module. You can see an example in PackageDev’s _logging.py:

github.com

SublimeText/PackageDev/blob/master/_logging.py

import logging

import sublime


DEFAULT_LOG_LEVEL = logging.WARNING
DEFAULT_LOG_LEVEL_NAME = logging.getLevelName(DEFAULT_LOG_LEVEL)
EVENT_LEVEL = logging.INFO

pl = logging.getLogger(__package__)
handler = logging.StreamHandler()
formatter = logging.Formatter(fmt="[{name}] {levelname}: {message}", style='{')
handler.setFormatter(formatter)
pl.addHandler(handler)
pl.setLevel(DEFAULT_LOG_LEVEL)

l = logging.getLogger(__name__)

Logging in own plugin doesn't work - how to activate it?
