invalid-get-logger-argument (LOG002)

Derived from the flake8-logging linter.

Fix is sometimes available.

What it does

Checks for any usage of __cached__ and __file__ as an argument to logging.getLogger().

Why is this bad?

The logging documentation recommends this pattern:

logging.getLogger(__name__)

Here, __name__ is the fully qualified module name, such as foo.bar, which is the intended format for logger names.

This rule detects probably-mistaken usage of similar module-level dunder constants:

• __cached__ - the pathname of the module's compiled version, such as foo/__pycache__/bar.cpython-311.pyc.
• __file__ - the pathname of the module, such as foo/bar.py.

Example

import logging

logger = logging.getLogger(__file__)

Use instead:

import logging

logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
