Logging not working

[sorter]

Hello.

I have an issue where logging statements are not working in subclasses of WebsocketConsumer. Logger works in the entry point to the daphne application and even above the class declaration but not within the consumer.

logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
logger.info("This log shows up")

class TrackNotifyConsumer(WebsocketConsumer):
    """API Tracking Notifications Consumer"""

    def connect(self):
        logger.info("This log DOES NOT show up")
        async_to_sync(self.channel_layer.group_add)("track", self.channel_name)
        self.accept()

• Your OS and runtime environment, and browser if applicable
  Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS

• A pip freeze output showing your package versions
  freeze.txt

• What you expected to happen vs. what actually happened
  Expected logging to work normally and for logs to show up wherever I invoke logger.info(...)

• How you're running Channels (runserver? daphne/runworker? Nginx/Apache in front?)
  Daphne, nginx

I will really appreciate a solution to this.

How are you able to get the logger in settings.py to work. Mine doesn't work. @sorter

Hello @sorter
Sorry for the late reply.
the logger's default level is NOTSET, which means it checks with its parent, which is the root, which has a default of WARNING.
And you can probably leave the handler at its default of NOTSET, which means it defers to the logger's filtering.

As the connect function is called within a try and except block already, I guess warnings are being discarded. Can you try this?

logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)

I will try and fix it if it doesn't as soon as I get time. Don't think it is an issue with channels.
