Magento 2 custom logger 'Missing required argument $name'

Question

I'm trying to create a custom logger, so I can log to a custom log file.

I've looked at and followed multiple tutorials that all say the same, however I keep getting the same error.

Tutorials that I followed:

This is not a duplicate of How to create custom Log file in Magento 2? as I followed everything that was explained there but got this error regardless.

I keep receiving the error: Missing required argument $name of Burst\MageNinjaApi\Logger\Logger., but far as I am aware, I am supplying the argument $name with <argument name="name" xsi:type="string">MageNinjaApiLogger</argument> in etc/di.xml.

Magento version: 2.1.10

app/code/Burst/MageNinjaApi/etc/di.xml

<?xml version="1.0" ?>

<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:ObjectManager/etc/config.xsd">
    <preference for="Burst\MageNinjaApi\Catalog\Api\ProductRepositoryInterface" type="Burst\MageNinjaApi\Catalog\ProductRepository" />
    <preference for="Burst\MageNinjaApi\Quote\Api\GuestCartItemRepositoryInterface" type="Burst\MageNinjaApi\Quote\GuestCartItemRepository" />
    <preference for="Burst\MageNinjaApi\Quote\Api\Data\CartItemInterface" type="Burst\MageNinjaApi\Quote\Item" />

    <!-- Custom Logger -->
    <type name="Burst\MageNinjaApi\Logger\Handler\Debug">
        <arguments>
            <argument name="filesystem" xsi:type="object">Magento\Framework\Filesystem\Driver\File</argument>
        </arguments>
    </type>
    <type name="Burst\MageNinjaApi\Logger\Logger">
        <arguments>
            <argument name="name" xsi:type="string">MageNinjaApiLogger</argument>
            <argument name="handlers" xsi:type="array">
                <item name="debug" xsi:type="object">Burst\MageNinjaApi\Logger\Handler\Debug</item>
            </argument>
        </arguments>
    </type>
</config>

app/code/Burst/MageNinjaApi/Logger/Logger.php

<?php

namespace Burst\MageNinjaApi\Logger;

class Logger extends \Monolog\Logger {

}

app/code/Burst/MageNinjaApi/Logger/Handler/Debug.php

<?php

namespace Burst\MageNinjaApi\Logger\Handler;

use Magento\Framework\Logger\Handler\Base;
use Monolog\Logger;

class Debug extends Base {
  protected $fileName = '/var/log/MageNinjaApi/debug.log';
  protected $loggerType = Logger::DEBUG;
}

It's not a duplicate. I followed the instructions on that page as I explained in my post (see under "Tutorials that I followed". — dbrekelmans, Dec 05 '17 at 14:07

I have encountered this problem as you had. The problem is the new configuration: <argument name="name" xsi:type="string">MageNinjaApiLogger</argument> in etc/di.xml is not updated.

Run php bin/magento cache:flush to update di.xml => It will solve this problem.

I did not test this but it sounds very plausible. Thanks for the response. – dbrekelmans Feb 28 '18 at 11:29
Yes. I have tested it. – thienphucvx Mar 01 '18 at 12:21
I tested it and it worked (Magento 2.4.4-p3) – Black May 17 '23 at 09:49

For what it's worth, I ran into this error when I forgot to enable my logger module, but I enabled a different module that depended on it. Could be a missing dependency.

This was resolved by updating Magento to version 2.2.1. I did not find out what caused the problem.

This doesn't really add anything to the issue, seems likely the upgrade to a higher version meant you'd cleared the cache which is the accepted answer. – performadigital Feb 16 '21 at 01:00
