Summary

  • move structured BAML log capture into baml_exec so baml run, baml test, and packed executables share one implementation
  • make packed binaries honor case-insensitive BAML_LOG thresholds while remaining silent by default
  • make baml run --log-file <PATH> create and stream [LEVEL] BAML log.* lines without enabling terminal log output
  • document packed-runtime logging and the restored --log-file behavior

Root cause

The packed host still used the capture-disabled dispatch API, so emitted log.* events had no consumer. Separately, the legacy event sink behind --log-file had been removed while the CLI flag remained, leaving the parsed path unused.

Validation

  • cargo test --lib -p baml_exec -p baml_cli (61 + 463 passed)
  • cargo test -p baml_cli --test pack_e2e (10 passed)
  • cargo test -p baml_cli --test exit_code_e2e log_sources_ -- --nocapture (2 passed)
  • cargo test -p baml_cli --test exit_code_e2e run_log_file_writes_baml_logs_without_changing_stdout -- --exact --nocapture
  • cargo clippy -p baml_cli -p baml_exec -p baml_pack_host --all-targets -- -D warnings
  • cargo fmt --all --check -- --config imports_granularity="Crate" --config group_imports="StdExternalCrate"
  • cargo check --target wasm32-unknown-unknown -p baml_exec

Fixes #4429

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added configurable BAML log levels through BAML_LOG, including filtering for packed executables.
    • Added optional file-based log output for baml run --log-file.
    • Packed applications now support structured logging with terminal and file output.
  • Documentation

    • Updated baml pack --help with an example for enabling logs.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevented logs from appearing in standard output when file-only logging is enabled.
    • Ensured command results remain separate from captured log files.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Logging output moved from baml_cli into baml_exec. CLI and packed-host execution now use shared log capture, filtering, terminal output, and file output. End-to-end tests cover baml run and packed binaries.

Changes

Logging pipeline

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared logging implementation
baml_language/crates/baml_exec/...
Adds LogLevel and LogOutput with BAML_LOG parsing, filtering, trace capture, terminal and file sinks, asynchronous draining, and tests.
CLI logging integration
baml_language/crates/baml_cli/src/run_command.rs, baml_language/crates/baml_cli/src/test_command.rs, baml_language/crates/baml_cli/src/pack_command.rs, baml_language/crates/baml_cli/tests/*
Removes local logging usage. baml run and baml test use baml_exec::LogOutput. Help text and end-to-end tests cover log output.
Packed target logging
baml_language/crates/baml_pack_host/src/main.rs
Packed execution creates a logging context, dispatches through dispatch_target_with_context, prints captured logs, and performs logging-aware shutdown.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 67008

The PR restores packed-binary and --log-file logging behavior with validation covering the affected test suites; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

Poem

I’m a rabbit with logs in my den,
Debug and error flow again.
Files receive each line,
While results stay in place.
Shared paths keep logs in trace.
