getLogger isn't being emitted when picologging is used instead of logging

[winstxnhdw]

Not sure if this should be an issue of Litestar or picologging, but since Litestar explicitly says that it supports picologging, I thought I should leave this here first.

I have a simple exception handler. When picologging is used instead of logging, it no longer emits the exception.

from picologging import getLogger
# from logging import getLogger

def exception_handler(_, exception: Exception) -> Response[dict[str, str]]:
    """
    Summary
    -------
    the Litestar exception handler

    Parameters
    ----------
    request (Request) : the request
    exception (Exception) : the exception
    """
    getLogger('custom.access').error('Application Exception', exc_info=exception)

    return Response(
        content={'detail': 'Internal Server Error'},
        status_code=HTTP_500_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR,
    )

I wonder if it has anything to do with any of these limitations: https://microsoft.github.io/picologging/limitations.html.

Since it doesn't seem like you're using any logging provided by Litestar, I'm going to say that's a picologging issue.

Do you have any logging configured in Litestar?

[winstxnhdw]

Nope. Just using the default. I believe Litestar wrote in the docs that zero config is necessary: https://docs.litestar.dev/2/usage/logging.html

That part of the documentation is about how Litestar uses picologging. In the example you have provided, you are simply using picologging directly. Litestar doesn't interfere with that in any way.
