Hey All, Originally asked on twitter but a more long-form medium is required to answer this question. I've recently been working on adding logging to a library and have been replacing what was once a custom logging interface with just *log.Logger. In so doing, I removed my ability to mock the logger (if I choose) and that steered me towards not testing / test-driving any of my logging output.
Walking down this path led me to these specific questions: 1. Does any one REALLY test whether their app logs specific log lines (when logging is not your the apps primary function) 2. Why isn't log.Logger just an interface instead of a struct (or why isn't there a LogWriter interface that specifies a few of the log packages multiple methods) 3. What has been the litmus test for when the stdlib will provide an interface (like io.Writer) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
