env_logger doesn't output anything about env_logger

[epage]

To make it easier to copy/paste, I made

#!/usr/bin/env nargo
---
[dependencies]
log = "0.4"
env_logger = "0.11"
---

use log::info;
fn main() {
    env_logger::init();
    info!("program started");
    println!("Hello world!");
}

$ ./run.rs
Hello World!
$ RUST_LOG=trace ./run.rs
[2024-02-16T17:04:41Z INFO  env_logger_311] program started
Hello world!

By default env_logger reports nothing back. You can use filter_level to set the level you want shown. clap-verbosity-flag helps provide a CLI for this.

As this is working as expected, I'm going to go ahead and close this. If there is a reason we should re-evaluate, let us know!

I have no powershell experience so I can't answer to what is going wrong between powershell and env_logger.
