Description

To improve experience while debugging when previewctl is not behaving as it should, this PR does 2 things:

  • Adopt a better logging library.
  • Log when install-context --watch fails to install and goes for another loop

How to test

  • Create a new branch from this PR.
  • Run previewctl install-context --watch
  • Run a werft job from your new branch, so it creates a new preview

You'll notice that the watch still doesn't work as expected (for me it stops looping at some point), but at least now we know what is happening 馃槄

Release Notes

NONE

All code in Gitpod uses logrus - we even tie klog (used by Kubernetes components) back to logrus.

What's the motivation to go astray? I.e. which requirements warrant the use of a different library?

None really, just wanted to move away from the previous 馃檪

I'll update the PR to logrus

best use common-go/log, but using logrus directly is fine, too.

I believe adopting a big lib just for one of the features may be too much.

I've only switched to logrus for now, but if someday in the future we need tracing/metrics/pprof, then common-go sounds like a good idea 馃檪

Switched log library to Logrus
