Inherits:

Includes:
Singleton
Defined in:
lib/log4r-color/logger.rb

Overview

RootLogger should be retrieved with Logger.root or Logger.global. It’s supposed to be transparent. – We must guarantee the creation of RootLogger before any other Logger or Outputter gets their logging methods defined. There are two guarantees in the code:

  • Logger#deal_with_inheritance - calls RootLogger.instance when a new Logger is created without a parent. Parents must exist, therefore RootLogger is forced to be created.

  • OutputterFactory.create_methods - Calls Logger.root first. So if an Outputter is created, RootLogger is also created.

When RootLogger is created, it calls Log4r.define_levels(*Log4rConfig::LogLevels). This ensures that the default levels are loaded if no custom ones are.
