how to send the icecream output to a log file? [solved] (lemmy.eco.br)

Hi, I'm currently using this to log my python process

logging.basicConfig(filename='filename.log', level=logging.DEBUG)

logger = logging.getLogger()

sys.stderr.write = logger.error

sys.stdout.write = logger.info

And then using print(f'{datetime.now()} log message') where I want to log.

It's working OK, buy I would like to live it to ic, but can't find any info on how to send the ic output to the logger.

Thanks for any help.

Overwriting sys.stdout and sys.stderr seems like a Bad Idea™.

Browsing the icecream source code, it looks like you can do this:

logger = logging.getLogger()
ic.configureOutput(outputFunction=logger.debug)

And then just make sure the logger is configured to actually print at DEBUG level.

Thanks, tried the next

logging.basicConfig(filename='filename.log', level=logging.DEBUG)

logger = logging.getLogger()
ic.configureOutput(outputFunction=logger.debug)

ic('test')

But didn't create the log file and the output was printed on the screen and not on log file(that was never created anyway)

Just to confirm, if you change ic('test') to logger.debug('test') it works as expected? I.e. it creates the log file?

Edit: Also if you change the output format of the logger and use it as the outputFunction to ic, does it include the customized format?

I just want to confirm if your ic is routing through the logger or not, to know if it's a problem with your logging config or with ic.

Never used ic before, but there is an example in the README on GitHub.

>>> import logging
>>> from icecream import ic
>>>
>>> def warn(s):
>>>     logging.warning(s)
>>>
>>> ic.configureOutput(outputFunction=warn)
>>> ic('eep')
WARNING:root:ic| 'eep': 'eep'
