log4js ConsoleAppender initialization
- by perrierism
I'm wondering if anyone happens to have some experience using Log4js? It seems its normal ConsoleAppender isn't always ready to use immediately after it's added to a logger object... If I have two sequential script tags in a document like:
//Initialize logger
<script type="text/javascript">
var logger = new Log4js.getLogger("JSLOG");
logger.addAppender(new Log4js.ConsoleAppender(logger, false));
logger.setLevel(Log4js.Level.INFO);
</script>
//Use logger
<script type="text/javascript">
logger.info('Test test');
</script>
... It causes the console pop-up (pop-up window) to appear with an error message on page load:
12:58:23 PM WARN Log4js - Could not run the listener function () {
return fn.apply(object, arguments);
}.
TypeError: this.outputElement is null
The console is still initialised, it's there afterward, but for just that first logger call it doesn't seem to be there fully. If I make the first logger call setTimeout("logger.info('test test')", 1000), it doesn't have the error. So it's like it's not ready immediately. Anyone see this before or know what a workaround might be?
Cheers
