[bug#68946] [RFC PATCH 0/1] Add logging capability to Guix

[Maxim Cournoyer]

This adds the ability to simply log messages during execution, whose level can
be selected via a new '--log-level' option.

It relies on pending Guile features (SRFI 209 enums) [0] as well as some
modifications to Guile-Lib's logging library so that it can support source
properties [1].  To test, I symlink the 'guile' binary at the root of the
Guix checkout to my ~/src/guile/meta/guile built binary, and I build Guix with
'make GUILE=./guile', in an environment containing the modified guile-lib:

guix shell --pure -D guix --with-source=guile-lib=/home/maxim/src/guile-lib

Here's some dummy output just to show what the default format looks like:

Cool!

How to synchronize this patch with the Guile-Lib counter-part

Well, I assume being the nitpick person here. :-)

The line guix/lint.scm should not change here.

I think what makes the date of the Copyright is something publicly
declared (published) and not the date when the author started to work on
it.  At least, it is how it works for book in France.

So here the Copyright would be 2024 only, I guess.

Why not also a docstring?

This make “--log-level debug” valid, right?

I think the convention is --long-option[=PARAMETER] and that
--long-option PARAMTER is unconventional.  Although I do not find the
reference.

(also -sPARAMTER or -s PARAMETER)

I have commit access to guile-lib; I've pinged its maintainer to see if
they have any objection, and otherwise I'll merge it soon.

Correct.

I fixed the number of tabs on the line above as it looked odd in Emacs
:-).

Most of that code also exists in guile-hall, was released in 2023, hence
the copyright year start [0].

Only procedures can have docstrings, unfortunately.

It's not as much a convention as a limitation of the SRFI 37 option
parser.  GNU getopt, which SRFI 37 aims to emulate,  doesn't have such a
limitation, for example.  We should improve SRFI 37 to lift such
limitation, in my opinion.

Two quick notes: I think it’s be best to avoid depending on Guile-Lib
“just” for this (it’s not clear to me what it’s maintenance status is),
and it’d be great to have concrete use case.

My concern with logging is that it’s not a good fit for the functional
parts (unless it has a functional interface like ‘pk’, but that’s still
sorta “cluttering” otherwise functional code), and I’m not sure which
imperative part it could be used for (I don’t doubt there’s such a
thing, but I lack imagination).

Thanks,
Ludo’.

I think it would be best something like:

Ah?  For instance ’define-with-syntax-properties’ or ’define-diagnostic’
or ’leave’ from (guix diagnostics); other instance in (gnu build
accounts) or (gnu build secret-service) etc.

Do I miss something?

I think that’s a bad choice.  For two reasons,

 1. Let’s keep an uniform across subcommands

 2. It potentially opens bug as #50472; no space avoids ambiguous
    implementations as explained. :-)

David Pirotte is doing great for Guile-Lib maintenance.  It's better
maintained, than say, Guile-Git, which we also depend on :-).  It has a
good test suite and is small.  We already depend on it for a couple of
our updaters, for its htmlprag HTML parser, so combined with this log
facility, that seems enough to justify hard depending on it.

I understand the concern, but I think to be able to trace execution
easily at run time with a simple `--log-level=debug' would provide value
enough (as a developer aid) to justify it.

Again, I lack imagination; where would you use it today?

I think we should only add this facility once it has at least one user.
Otherwise people using ‘--log-level’ would be disappointed.  :-)

OK; I've added some basic logging to get the ball rolling; it's
currently limited to showing the parsed arguments used with the guix
command run, it looks like so:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ ./pre-inst-env guix --log-level=debug build hello
2024-02-25 02:58:13 guix/logging.scm:92:5: (run-guix-command) DEBUG: logging initialized
2024-02-25 02:58:13 guix/ui.scm:2296:11: (run-guix-command) INFO: running guix command `build' with args: (hello)
2024-02-25 02:58:13 guix/scripts/build.scm:741:3: (guix-build) INFO: 'guix build' parsed options: ((argument . hello) (build-mode . 0) (graft? . #t) (substitutes? . #t) (offload? . #t) (print-build-trace? . #t) (print-extended-build-trace? . #t) (multiplexed-build-output? . #t) (verbosity . 3) (debug . 0))
/gnu/store/kf9cgiq5a2bbxf89h72scl6b5f4jmjpf-hello-2.12.1
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

While this is not super useful yet, we can see where execution started,
and which options were passed to the lower level command API, which
could be a helpful entry-point discoverability hint to a new hacker
wanting to add a switch or look into how a particular command is implemented.

I'll send a v3 with it soon.
