[BUG] Logger sink with name browser skips browser:err

• Operating System: Ubuntu 20.04

Code Snippet

I was expecting to see errors in launching the browser with this logger sink. However, this does not show logs in the browser:err namespace.

const { webkit } = require('playwright');

(async () => {
    const browser = await webkit.launch({ logger: {
        isEnabled: (name, severity) => name === 'browser',
        log: (name, severity, message, args) => console.log(`${name} ${message}`)
    }});
    await browser.close();
})();

Using this with DEBUG=* shows the errors.

That's kind of intended. Does name startsWith("browser") work for you?

[arjunattam]

startsWith works for me. I thought the err was for severity and not the name, hence the confusion.

Browser's stderr can be noisy, so we actually dispatch it as a warning severity :-)
