Feature Request: Hooks allowing for namespaces

[gnorris415]

Hi! I love the package. I am using it for maybe a unique project where I have several different similar analyzes that are running together. They share a lot of the same code so I have been leveraging the namespace argument in the log_* functions to keep my logs separate. I wanted to implement log_errors() as a fallback in case there is an unexpected error without having to wrap everything in a tryCatch statement. However, log_errors() does not accept a namespace argument. So for now I am creating a parent log for these kinds of error.

Is it possible to get log_errors to accept a namespace?

It's a reasonable request -- already came up at #60, but it seems it did not happen after all. I'll try to get to this before the end of the next week, ready for useR! 2025 :)

Hi, and thanks for this package which is really helpful! I'm doubling down on this feature request to add a namespace for log_warnings, log_messages and log_errors.
I am using {logger} to write to several logfiles with their own namespaces. My current approach is to rely on sink() to control the output logfile (as shown below), but it would be nice to have this inside logger.

con <- file(logfile, open = "a") # open connection to one of my logfiles
sink(con , type = "message") # sink errors, warnings and messages
sink(con, type = "output", split = TRUE) # sink other outputs
[code that produces warnings]
sink() # close sink
