1515330 - [mozlog] Unclear how to write a new mozlog handler

Status: NEW

(Testing :: Mozbase, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Sam Sneddon [:gsnedders]]

https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/mozbase/mozlog.html#handlers starts off by saying a handler is a callable and then goes straight into the documentation of APIs in mozlog.handlers.

What's the envisioned way of writing a new handler? Creating a callable and wrapping that in mozlog.handlers.BaseHandler? Subclassing mozlog.handlers.BaseHandler? Not using mozlog.handlers.BaseHandler at all?

See https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/pull/14604 for my attempt at writing a handler based on the documentation and a small bit of source reading (primarily of other handlers in WPT, but a bit of mozbase too).
