Research direction

Start by reproducing the examples using log.fmt_debug with parse_url.method or print.method, then trace how the logging call handles invalid values. Compare the behavior with the expected error reporting described in the issue; done means the failed logging attempt no longer disappears silently and its outcome is covered by an appropriate test.

Description

I mistyped a variable name when logging a string, instead of

  log.fmt_debug("Identified method %s", parsed_url.method)

I wrote

  log.fmt_debug("Identified method %s", parse_url.method)

with parse_url a function but one can reproduce with any function:

  log.fmt_debug("Identified method %s", print.method)

and the message never appears, I suspect it triggers an error that is never logged, which I find troubling, I wonder if it's possible to log instead "ERROR: Couldnt log" ?
