Migrate pkg to slog by benoittgt · Pull Request #30708 · helm/helm

What this PR does / why we need it:

tl;dr : migrate packages and cmd from log to slog for logs

While trying to implement #30689 but for V4. It was mentionned that I should use slog. So I tried to make a first try in
#30685, but it requires a change accross packages and cmd.

This PR migrates packages and cmd to slog.

Migrate all log to slog key-value, with everything in Debug, except logs that start with warning:
Start all logs phrase with lowercase letter like recommend in Go
Try to make logs more easily grepable by adding more often the name and the namespace of the resource
Follow same construction in struct as before, so SDK's users can pass custom slogger with a custom handler to process logs

This code still need to be fully manually tested but first I would like to get some feedbacks.

First let me thank you for all your hard work on this. Where we are calling logging looks good but how we implement the logging i think needs to change. Rather than passing around a logger Log as to just call slog directly. Would love to setup some time to disucss if you are up to it.

pkg/cmd/root.go

pkg/cli/logger.go

+	}
+
+	// Create a handler that removes timestamps
+	handler := slog.NewTextHandler(os.Stdout, &slog.HandlerOptions{


I am more curious why add the logger rather than just use slog directly? I thought I mentioned that on another PR.

internal/monocular/client.go

So we should use dynamic handler to set the log level after. With this patch we can clearly see the output. Before we were always stuck in log level "info" and not seeing debug log level ``` bin/helm upgrade --install --debug --wait frontend \ --namespace test \ --set replicaCount=2 \ --set backend=http://backend-podinfo:9898/echo \ podinfo/podinfo level=DEBUG msg="getting history for release" release=frontend level=DEBUG msg="preparing upgrade" name=frontend level=DEBUG msg="performing update" name=frontend level=DEBUG msg="creating upgraded release" name=frontend level=DEBUG msg="checking resources for changes" resources=2 level=DEBUG msg="no changes detected" kind=Service name=frontend-podinfo level=DEBUG msg="patching resource" kind=Deployment name=frontend-podinfo namespace=test level=DEBUG msg="waiting for resources" count=2 timeout=5m0s level=DEBUG msg="waiting for resource" name=frontend-podinfo kind=Deployment expectedStatus=Current actualStatus=Unknown level=DEBUG msg="updating status for upgraded release" name=frontend Release "frontend" has been upgraded.

pkg/cmd/root.go

 	settings.AddFlags(flags)
 	addKlogFlags(flags)

+	logger := logging.NewLogger(func() bool { return settings.Debug })


We need to be dynamic with the settings because it is set later. Maybe we could simplify, if you have an idea maybe.

After a quick call with @robertsirc I removed all mention of Log and instead leveral slog directly + slog.SetDefault.

SDK developer will still be able to set a custom default logger with a dedicated handler thank to SetDefault
I choose to make a Handler for slog to do not loose the --debug behavior.
We loose the call location with the logging with slog 7f02e89
, but I think log message are pretty uniq and it's easy to find the location of the call with basic text search on Github.

Error trace are one-lined but I think it's ok.

benoit.tigeot » bin/helm uninstall --namespace test podinfo 

Error: uninstall: Release not loaded: podinfo: release: not found

benoit.tigeot » bin/helm uninstall --namespace test podinfo --debug

Sorry again for the size of the PR.

LGTM, there are some issues that we are going to want to follow up with another PR to fix but since this is part of Helm4, we have some liberties.

robertsirc · 2025-04-10T19:03:31Z

pkg/action/install.go

 		if err := i.cfg.KubeClient.IsReachable(); err != nil {
-			i.cfg.Log(fmt.Sprintf("ERROR: Cluster reachability check failed: %v", err))
+			slog.Error(fmt.Sprintf("cluster reachability check failed: %v", err))
 			return nil, errors.Wrap(err, "cluster reachability check failed")


So, we log this as an error here but then return the error below it, it will be logged again. It could make sense to change this but let me bring this back others before you change anything.

mattfarina · 2025-04-11T19:41:55Z

pkg/kube/client.go

-	if err != nil {
-		return errors.Errorf("Failed to close reader for pod: %s, container: %s", podName, containerName)
-	}


Note, this was unreachable code so it's safe to remove.
