[log] unsupported value type

[ebuchman]

logging fails if we try to use a struct as a value

[melekes]

I think this is made intentionally https://github.com/go-logfmt/logfmt/blob/390ab7935ee28ec6b286364bba9b4dd6410cb3d5/encode_test.go#L41 go-logfmt/logfmt#1

@ebuchman @melekes Can this be closed as it is not supported or are we going to implement this ourselves?

[ebuchman]

Hmmm ... We just need to make sure it's VERY WELL documented. Otherwise folks will be wasting time figuring out why they not getting log statements ...

[melekes]

See go-logfmt/logfmt#1 (comment)

[melekes]

Let's do this:

err := e.EncodeKeyval(k, v)
if err == logfmt.ErrUnsupportedValueType {
    e.EncodeKeyval(k, fmt.Sprintf("%+v", v))
}
