Logging does not seem to work in browser

[max-l]

How are you using the @globus/sdk?

Client-side JavaScript (e.g. Browser)

Current and expected behavior

I initialise the logger as follows, in a React single page app :

import { authorization, logger } from "@globus/sdk";

logger.setLogger(console)
logger.setLogLevel('debug')

It has no effect, i.e. no log message appear in the browser console, despite multiple calls to the API.

Lookin at the code (authenticationManager, etc, I see plenty of logging messages, ex: log('debug', 'AuthorizationManager.handleCodeRedirect') that I should be seeing in the console.

Environment

System:
OS: Linux 6.8 Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS 24.04.2 LTS (Noble Numbat)
Shell: 5.2.21 - /bin/bash
Binaries:
Node: 18.16.1 - ~/.nvm/versions/node/v18.16.1/bin/node
npm: 9.5.1 - ~/.nvm/versions/node/v18.16.1/bin/npm
pnpm: 9.12.1 - ~/.nvm/versions/node/v18.16.1/bin/pnpm

Logging is currently limited to the AuthorizationManager. We've decided not to include network requests at this time because this is better observed through existing methods (e.g. Network tab).

I put together a quick CodeSandbox to try and reproduce the behavior of AuthorizationManager not emitting logs but haven't had luck - https://codesandbox.io/p/sandbox/llw4vw

Since the AuthorizationManager relies heavily on redirect behavior, when using console, make sure your logs are being preserved on navigation (browser-specific setting).

Happy to troubleshoot further if you can provide more specific reproduction steps.
