obilog Package — Semantic Overview

The obilog package provides a lightweight, conditional logging interface for the OBItools4 ecosystem. It wraps logrus, a structured logger, to emit warnings only when explicitly allowed by application-wide settings.

Core Functionality

  • Warnf(format string, args ...interface{})
    A convenience wrapper around logrus.Warnf, enabling formatted warning messages. It respects a global "silent warnings" toggle defined in obidefault.SilentWarning().

Design Intent

  • Conditional Warning Output:
    Warnings are suppressed when obidefault.SilentWarning() returns true, supporting quiet or batch execution modes (e.g., CI pipelines, automated runs).

  • Consistency & Integration:
    Leverages obidefault to enforce centralized control over verbosity, aligning logging behavior with higher-level application configuration.

  • Minimal Abstraction:
    Keeps the interface simple and idiomatic, avoiding over-engineering while preserving flexibility for future extensions (e.g., adding Debugf, Infof wrappers).

Use Case

Ideal for non-fatal issues in command-line tools or libraries—where warnings should be visible by default but suppressible on demand, without altering core logic.

Dependencies

  • logrus: Structured logging backend
  • obidefault: Configuration layer for global behavior (e.g., silence mode)

Note

: This package is not a full logging subsystem—its a targeted, policy-aware warning emitter.
