Does default level really work?

[edasque]

Following your document example to the letter but for:

// Import
var level  = process.argv.indexOf('-d') === -1 ? 6 : 7;
var logger = new (require('caterpillar').Logger)({level:level});
var filter = new (require('caterpillar-filter').Filter)();
var human  = new (require('caterpillar-human').Human)();

The following doesn't seem to have any effect:

logger.log('this is level 6, the default level');

Works as expected for me...

$ node example.js 
emergency: this is level 0
emergency: this is level 0
alert: this is level 1
critical: this is level 2
critical: this is level 2
error: this is level 3
error: this is level 3
warning: this is level 4
warning: this is level 4
notice: this is level 5
notice: this is level 5
info: this is level 6
info: this is level 6
info: can also use as many arguments as you want 1 [ 2, 3 ] { four: 5 }

$ node example.js  -d
emergency: this is level 0

Notice how without the -d flag (so log level 6) the debug log level is filtered out (log level 7). But with the -d flag (so log level 7) the debug log levels are kept.

Actually, no, it's not working for you either. Unless you don't have this line:

logger.log('this is level 6, the default level');

that should output, AFAIK:

info: this is level 6, the default level

Ohhhh... Sorry I must have misread the issue. Gotcha, yeah definitely doesn't seem to be working. I'll look into it tomorrow maybe if I get some time.

Fixed in v2.0.2 :) Thanks for the report!
