Examples and Code Snippets

Here are a few code snippets which I use for testing the framework, but which haven't yet made it into a test suite.

The following snippet loads the file toothpick.ini and configures the loggers from it. It then triggers an error-level LoggingEvent, which should be picked up and logged by all loggers. Afterwards, all loggers are stopped, and the LoggingMultiplexer reset.

LoggingMultiplexer reset.
LoggingMultiplexer current 
	configureFromIniFile;
 	startAllLoggers.
LoggingEvent logError: 'Test Message'.
LoggingMultiplexer current stopAllLoggers.
LoggingMultiplexer reset.

We used this test to implement and debug the mutex queue.

This snippet shows how easily Toothpick integrates with the standard Smalltalk event mechanism.

| logger foo |
LoggingMultiplexer reset.
logger := TranscriptLogger new
	policy: LoggingPolicy debugPolicy;
	yourself.
LoggingMultiplexer current
	addLogger: logger;
	startAllLoggers.
foo := Object new.
foo when: #ping: send: #logWarn: to: LoggingEvent.
foo triggerEvent: #ping: with: 'Hello World'
