Summary

  • Remove Console.WHITE coloring from class names (logger names) in AppLogFormatter, SourceCodeLogFormatter, and ThreadLogFormatter
  • Class names now use the terminal's default text color, ensuring readability on both light and dark terminal backgrounds

Test plan

  • Run ./sbt "logJVM/test" - all 55 tests pass

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Previously class names were colored with Console.WHITE, which doesn't
display well on terminals with light/white backgrounds. Now class names
use the terminal's default text color, ensuring readability on both
light and dark terminal themes.

Summary of Changes

Hello @xerial, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request addresses a minor but impactful UI/UX issue in log output. By removing a hardcoded white color for logger class names, the change ensures that log messages are consistently readable regardless of the terminal's background color, improving the overall developer experience when viewing logs.

Highlights

  • Log Formatting: Removed explicit Console.WHITE coloring for class names (logger names) in AppLogFormatter, SourceCodeLogFormatter, and ThreadLogFormatter.
  • Readability Improvement: Class names in log output will now default to the terminal's text color, enhancing readability across various terminal themes (light/dark backgrounds).

Code Review

This pull request correctly removes the hardcoded Console.WHITE color for logger class names in several log formatters. This is a valuable improvement that enhances readability on terminals with light backgrounds by using the default text color. The changes are applied consistently and also improve code formatting by collapsing multi-line strings. I have one suggestion regarding code duplication that has become more apparent with these changes, which could be addressed to improve long-term maintainability.

This change is a good improvement. It also highlights the significant code duplication between this formatter and AppLogFormatter. The core log message format is now nearly identical, with this formatter just appending the source location (loc).

To improve maintainability and adhere to the DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) principle, consider extracting the common log string construction into a private helper method. SourceCodeLogFormatter could then call this helper and append the ${loc} information. This would make future changes to the log format easier to manage across different formatters.
