Platform

Darwin Mac 24.1.0 Darwin Kernel Version 24.1.0: Thu Oct 10 21:05:23 PDT 2024; root:xnu-11215.41.3~2/RELEASE_ARM64_T6031 arm64

Description

I tried this code (note that I removed additional subscribers that are not relevant to this issue):

    let console_layer = tracing_subscriber::fmt::layer()
        .pretty()
        .with_file(false)
        .with_line_number(false)
        .with_target(false)
        .with_writer(std::io::stdout)
        .with_filter(EnvFilter::try_from_default_env().unwrap_or_else(|_| EnvFilter::new("info")));

    // Initialize combined registry
    Registry::default()
        .with(console_layer)
        .try_init()
        .expect("Failed to initialize logging.");

I expect when I run cargo run to have at minimum info, warn and error printed to the console.

Nothing gets printed to the console, only when I run RUST_LOG=info cargo run do I see info, warn and error lines printed to the console.

I needed to "unset RUST_LOG".
