Item1855: Internal Error on any operation when Foswiki::Logger implementation is set to none

Priority:	CurrentState:	AppliesTo:	Component:	WaitingFor:
Normal	Closed	Engine

To test, change the {Log}{Implementation} setting to "none" from the configure interface. The culprit is the method Foswiki::logger, which does eval "require $Foswiki::cfg{Log}{Implementation}" without checking if the setting is a valid implementation.

I think that there should be a logger implementation that does nothing, and it sould be used when the setting is set to "none". That is way better than to check of undef each time the logger is used.

BTW, the documentation of Foswiki::logger has a copy/paste error, it is the same as the Foswiki::i18n method.

Flagged as "Urgent" as it prevents the normal operation of Foswiki. Perhaps it can be downgraded to "Normal" as it only affect "Expert" users that change the setting from its default.

Yeah, Normal. Confirmed and downgraded.
