set_level not setting _level

[dougtinkham]

Great and fast library.

I am using a custom sink though I do not think this matters.

Problem: After creating a logger, I use spdlog::set_level(spdlog::level::trace); but my trace and debug level logs do not log. I found that if I comment line 43 in logger_impl.h that my trace and debug logs are logged. Line 43 is currently the line _level = level::info; in logger function:

template
inline spdlog::logger::logger(const std::string& logger_name, const It& begin, const It& end) :
_name(logger_name),
_sinks(begin, end),
_formatter(std::make_shared<pattern_formatter>("%+"))
{

// no support under vs2013 for member initialization for std::atomic
_level = level::info;

}

I'm using clang in QtCreator on Mac OS X Yosemity, logging to a QTextEdit from a logger created at global namespace.

Please let me know if you think I've failed to do something to setup my logging and/or if commenting that line is ok or bad.

Thanks!

If I recall correctly, spdlog::set_level() only apply for loggers that
are created after the call to set_level().
You have 2 possiblities:
* Call set_loger() on your logger object.
* Create your logger object after calling spdlog::set_level().

I chose your option #1, setting the level on my logger object. It now works as expected.

Thanks xaqq!

spdlog:set_level can be called before creation actually.

I think the problem is that this logger was not regisered.

A call to register_logger before the call would fix this too..

Hi all, i have the same problem but the workaround didn't work for me
