Current evaluation

Merged PR #163 (commit 659cac9) by tigarmo makes Printer._log() call self.log.flush() after every write to the logfile, matching stdlib FileHandler behaviour and preventing lost messages from multiprocessing child processes (CRAFT-1856).

Resolution: closed resolved

Reason: The PR was approved and merged into main as commit 659cac9 ('printer: always flush when logging messages (#163)'). craft_cli/printer.py now flushes the log handle at the end of _log(), with the flush still present in current HEAD.

Issue body

With this commit, every write() call to the Printer's logfile is followed by an explicit call to flush(). This is in line with the standard library's FileHandler behavior, and lets us correctly write to file messages logged from child processes (multiprocessing). Without this, the files are written() to but the child process dies without flushing them to disk, so they are lost. CRAFT-1856
