+# Log Utility
+
+## Principle
+
+Use structured logging that integrates with Playwright's test reports. Support object logging, test step decoration, and multiple log levels (info, step, success, warning, error, debug).
+
+## Rationale
+
+Console.log in Playwright tests has limitations:
+
+- Not visible in HTML reports
+- No test step integration
+- No structured output
+- Lost in terminal noise during CI
+
+The `log` utility provides:
+
+- **Report integration**: Logs appear in Playwright HTML reports
+- **Test step decoration**: `log.step()` creates collapsible steps in UI
+- **Object logging**: Automatically formats objects/arrays
+- **Multiple levels**: info, step, success, warning, error, debug
+- **Optional console**: Can disable console output but keep report logs
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```typescript
+import { log } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils';
+
+// Basic logging
+await log.info('Starting test');
+await log.step('Test step shown in Playwright UI');
+await log.success('Operation completed');
+await log.warning('Something to note');
+await log.error('Something went wrong');
+await log.debug('Debug information');
+```
+
+## Pattern Examples
+
+### Example 1: Basic Logging Levels
+
+**Context**: Log different types of messages throughout test execution.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+import { log } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils';
+
+test('logging demo', async ({ page }) => {
+  await log.step('Navigate to login page');
+  await page.goto('/login');
+
+  await log.info('Entering credentials');
+  await page.fill('#username', 'testuser');
+
+  await log.success('Login successful');
+
+  await log.warning('Rate limit approaching');
+
+  await log.debug({ userId: '123', sessionId: 'abc' });
+
+  // Errors still throw but get logged first
+  try {
+    await page.click('#nonexistent');
+  } catch (error) {
+    await log.error('Click failed', false); // false = no console output
+    throw error;
+  }
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- `step()` creates collapsible steps in Playwright UI
+- `info()`, `success()`, `warning()` for different message types
+- `debug()` for detailed data (objects/arrays)
+- `error()` with optional console suppression
+- All logs appear in test reports
+
+### Example 2: Object and Array Logging
+
+**Context**: Log structured data for debugging without cluttering console.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+test('object logging', async ({ apiRequest }) => {
+  const { body } = await apiRequest({
+    method: 'GET',
+    path: '/api/users',
+  });
+
+  // Log array of objects
+  await log.debug(body); // Formatted as JSON in report
+
+  // Log specific object
+  await log.info({
+    totalUsers: body.length,
+    firstUser: body[0]?.name,
+    timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
+  });
+
+  // Complex nested structures
+  await log.debug({
+    request: {
+      method: 'GET',
+      path: '/api/users',
+      timestamp: Date.now(),
+    },
+    response: {
+      status: 200,
+      body: body.slice(0, 3), // First 3 items
+    },
+  });
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- Objects auto-formatted as pretty JSON
+- Arrays handled gracefully
+- Nested structures supported
+- All visible in Playwright report attachments
+
+### Example 3: Test Step Organization
+
+**Context**: Organize test execution into collapsible steps for better readability in reports.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+test('organized with steps', async ({ page, apiRequest }) => {
+  await log.step('ARRANGE: Setup test data');
+  const { body: user } = await apiRequest({
+    method: 'POST',
+    path: '/api/users',
+    body: { name: 'Test User' },
+  });
+
+  await log.step('ACT: Perform user action');
+  await page.goto(`/users/${user.id}`);
+  await page.click('#edit');
+  await page.fill('#name', 'Updated Name');
+  await page.click('#save');
+
+  await log.step('ASSERT: Verify changes');
+  await expect(page.getByText('Updated Name')).toBeVisible();
+
+  // In Playwright UI, each step is collapsible
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- `log.step()` creates collapsible sections
+- Organize by Arrange-Act-Assert
+- Steps visible in Playwright trace viewer
+- Better debugging when tests fail
+
+### Example 4: Test Step Decorators
+
+**Context**: Create collapsible test steps in Playwright UI using decorators.
+
+**Page Object Methods with @methodTestStep:**
+
+```typescript
+import { methodTestStep } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils';
+
+class TodoPage {
+  constructor(private page: Page) {
+    this.name = 'TodoPage';
+  }
+
+  readonly name: string;
+
+  @methodTestStep('Add todo item')
+  async addTodo(text: string) {
+    await log.info(`Adding todo: ${text}`);
+    const newTodo = this.page.getByPlaceholder('What needs to be done?');
+    await newTodo.fill(text);
+    await newTodo.press('Enter');
+    await log.step('step within a decorator');
+    await log.success(`Added todo: ${text}`);
+  }
+
+  @methodTestStep('Get all todos')
+  async getTodos() {
+    await log.info('Getting all todos');
+    return this.page.getByTestId('todo-title');
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Function Helpers with functionTestStep:**
+
+```typescript
+import { functionTestStep } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils';
+
+// Define todo items for the test
+const TODO_ITEMS = ['buy groceries', 'pay bills', 'schedule meeting'];
+
+const createDefaultTodos = functionTestStep('Create default todos', async (page: Page) => {
+  await log.info('Creating default todos');
+  await log.step('step within a functionWrapper');
+  const todoPage = new TodoPage(page);
+
+  for (const item of TODO_ITEMS) {
+    await todoPage.addTodo(item);
+  }
+
+  await log.success('Created all default todos');
+});
+
+const checkNumberOfTodosInLocalStorage = functionTestStep(
+  'Check total todos count fn-step',
+  async (page: Page, expected: number) => {
+    await log.info(`Verifying todo count: ${expected}`);
+    const result = await page.waitForFunction(
+      (e) => JSON.parse(localStorage['react-todos']).length === e,
+      expected
+    );
+    await log.success(`Verified todo count: ${expected}`);
+    return result;
+  }
+);
+```
+
+### Example 5: File Logging
+
+**Context**: Enable file logging for persistent logs.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+// playwright/support/fixtures.ts
+import { test as base } from '@playwright/test';
+import { log, captureTestContext } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils';
+
+// Configure file logging globally
+log.configure({
+  fileLogging: {
+    enabled: true,
+    outputDir: 'playwright-logs/organized-logs',
+    forceConsolidated: false, // One file per test
+  },
+});
+
+// Extend base test with file logging context capture
+export const test = base.extend({
+  // Auto-capture test context for file logging
+  autoTestContext: [async ({}, use, testInfo) => {
+    captureTestContext(testInfo);
+    await use(undefined);
+  }, { auto: true }],
+});
+```
+
+### Example 6: Integration with Auth and API
+
+**Context**: Log authenticated API requests with tokens (safely).
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+import { test } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/fixtures';
+
+// Helper to create safe token preview
+function createTokenPreview(token: string): string {
+  if (!token || token.length < 10) return '[invalid]';
+  return `${token.slice(0, 6)}...${token.slice(-4)}`;
+}
+
+test('should log auth flow', async ({ authToken, apiRequest }) => {
+  await log.info(`Using token: ${createTokenPreview(authToken)}`);
+
+  await log.step('Fetch protected resource');
+  const { status, body } = await apiRequest({
+    method: 'GET',
+    path: '/api/protected',
+    headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${authToken}` },
+  });
+
+  await log.debug({
+    status,
+    bodyPreview: {
+      id: body.id,
+      recordCount: body.data?.length,
+    },
+  });
+
+  await log.success('Protected resource accessed successfully');
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- Never log full tokens (security risk)
+- Use preview functions for sensitive data
+- Combine with auth and API utilities
+- Log at appropriate detail level
+
+## Configuration
+
+**Defaults:** console logging enabled, file logging disabled.
+
+```typescript
+// Enable file logging in config
+log.configure({
+  console: true, // default
+  fileLogging: {
+    enabled: true,
+    outputDir: 'playwright-logs',
+    forceConsolidated: false, // One file per test
+  },
+});
+
+// Per-test override
+await log.info('Message', {
+  console: { enabled: false },
+  fileLogging: { enabled: true },
+});
+```
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+```bash
+# Disable all logging
+SILENT=true
+
+# Disable only file logging
+DISABLE_FILE_LOGS=true
+
+# Disable only console logging
+DISABLE_CONSOLE_LOGS=true
+```
+
+### Level Filtering
+
+```typescript
+log.configure({
+  level: 'warning', // Only warning, error levels will show
+});
+
+// Available levels (in priority order):
+// debug < info < step < success < warning < error
+```
+
+### Sync Methods
+
+For non-test contexts (global setup, utility functions):
+
+```typescript
+// Use sync methods when async/await isn't available
+log.infoSync('Initializing configuration');
+log.successSync('Environment configured');
+log.errorSync('Setup failed');
+```
+

+## Anti-Patterns
+
+**DON'T log objects in steps:**
+
+```typescript
+await log.step({ user: 'test', action: 'create' }); // Shows empty in UI
+```
+
+**DO use strings for steps, objects for debug:**
+
+```typescript
+await log.step('Creating user: test'); // Readable in UI
+await log.debug({ user: 'test', action: 'create' }); // Detailed data
+```
+
+**DON'T log sensitive data:**
+
+```typescript
+await log.info(`Password: ${password}`); // Security risk!
+await log.info(`Token: ${authToken}`); // Full token exposed!
+```
+
+**DO use previews or omit sensitive data:**
+
+```typescript
+await log.info('User authenticated successfully'); // No sensitive data
+await log.debug({ tokenPreview: token.slice(0, 6) + '...' });
+```
+
+**DON'T log excessively in loops:**
+
+```typescript
+for (const item of items) {
+  await log.info(`Processing ${item.id}`); // 100 log entries!
+}
+```
+
+**DO log summary or use debug level:**
+
+```typescript
+await log.step(`Processing ${items.length} items`);
+await log.debug({ itemIds: items.map((i) => i.id) }); // One log entry
+```
