[dancer-users] RESOLUTION: Dancer2::Plugin::LogReport - basic setup

[Nathan Bailey]

Hi all,
 For the archive/record, see below - all working now. I'd mis-indented the
yml config.

cheers,
Nathan

Nevermind, I see I indented the yml incorrectly:
logger: "LogReport"

engines:
  logger:
    LogReport:
      log_format: %a%i%m
      app_name: AppName
      dispatchers:
        logfile:  # "default" dispatcher stays open as well
          type: FILE
          to: /path/filename.log
          charset: utf-8
          mode: DEBUG

now works!

And I see that adding the dispatcher line in a test harness lets me write
errors to a file rather than stderr too.

Brilliant!

thanks,
Nathan
