🌱 Usage

Essentials

For an overview of the logging system, see Chickensoft.Log. This package provides Chickensoft.Log-compatible writers for output to the Godot debug console and Godot file paths.

Setup

public class MyClass
{
  // Create a log with the name of MyClass, outputting to the Godot debug console
  private ILog _log = new Log(nameof(MyClass), new GDWriter());
}

Logging

public void MyMethod()
{
  // Outputs "Info (MyClass): A log message"
    _log.Print("A log message");
    // Outputs "Warn (MyClass): A warning message"
    _log.Warn("A warning message");
    // Outputs "Error (MyClass): An error occurred"
    _log.Err("An error occurred");

    try
    {
      SomethingThatThrows();
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
      // Outputs the value of e.ToString(), prefixed by a line labeling it an
      // exception, as an error
      _log.Print(e);
    }

    // Outputs the current stack trace as a standard log message
    _log.Print(new System.Diagnostics.StackTrace());
}

✒️ Writer Types

The Chickensoft.Log.Godot package provides two writer types for use with Godot:

• GDWriter: Outputs log messages to the Godot console.
• GDFileWriter: Outputs log messages to file using Godot's file I/O system, to support writing files to Godot's "res://" and "user://" paths. By default, GDFileWriter will write to "user://output.log", but you can either configure a different default, or configure individual GDFileWriters to write to particular files on creation. To avoid concurrency issues, GDFileWriter is implemented as a pseudo-singleton with a single instance per file name.

Using GDFileWriter

Create a log that outputs messages to the default filename "user://output.log":

public class MyClass
{
  private ILog _log = new Log(nameof(MyClass), GDFileWriter.Instance());
}

Create a log that outputs messages to a custom filename:

public class MyClass
{
  private ILog _log = new Log(nameof(MyClass),
    GDFileWriter.Instance("user://CustomFileName.log"));
}

Change the default filename for GDFileWriters:

public class Entry
{
  public static void Main()
  {
    // Change the default filename for GDFileWriter before any writers are created
    GDFileWriter.DefaultFileName = "user://MyDefaultFileName.log";
  }
}

public class MyClass
{
  private ILog _log = new Log(nameof(MyClass), GDFileWriter.Instance());
}
