The `expect` attribute is similar to `allow` in that it will silence a
particular lint. In addition to `allow` however, `expect` will fail as
soon as the lint is no longer emitted. This ensures we don't end up with
stale `allow` attributes in our codebase. Additionally, it provides a
way of adding a `reason` to document, why the lint is being suppressed.
On Windows, the network notifier always notifies once at startup. We
make the DNS notifier and Linux match this behavior, and we assert it in
the unit test.
Part of a yak shave towards removing Tauri.
Setting up a logger is something that pretty much every entrypoint needs
to do, be it a test, a shared library embedded in another app or a
standalone application. Thus, it makes sense to introduce a dedicated
crate that allows us to bundle all the things together, how we want to
do logging.
This allows us to introduce convenience functions like
`firezone_logging::test` which allow you to construct a logger for a
test as a one-liner.
Crucially though, introducing `firezone-logging` gives us a place to
store a default log directive that silences very noisy crates. When
looking into a problem, it is common to start by simply setting the
log-filter to `debug`. Without further action, this floods the output
with logs from crates like `netlink_proto` on Linux. It is very unlikely
that those are the logs that you want to see. Without a preset filter,
the only alternative here is to explicitly turn off the log filter for
`netlink_proto` by typing something like
`RUST_LOG=netlink_proto=off,debug`. Especially when debugging issues
with customers, this is annoying.
Log filters can be overridden, i.e. a 2nd filter that matches the exact
same scope overrides a previous one. Thus, with this design it is still
possible to activate certain logs at runtime, even if they have silenced
by default.
I'd expect `firezone-logging` to attract more functionality in the
future. For example, we want to support re-loading of log-filters on
other platforms. Additionally, where logs get stored could also be
defined in this crate.
