"log.SetLogger(...) was never called" warning in controller tests

[mdbooth]

/kind bug

We frequently (always?) see this scary warning in CI out of the -test job:

[controller-runtime] log.SetLogger(...) was never called; logs will not be displayed.

@mdbooth can I assign this to myself, I might have a working version here for capm3 metal3-io/cluster-api-provider-metal3#1658

Be my guest! I was noodling something in #2019 but it didn't seem to work. I'll close it.

Thanks @kashifest for your contributions, they are very appreciated!

Actually this should have been fixed already by #1754 , I think this is good to close, @EmilienM @mdbooth can you verify if this issue is still visible or not before we close this ?

I don't think so because the dates don't line up. That said, I can't reproduce this now and I don't see it in any recent CI output. Spooky 👻

I think I'll just close it. Sorry if you spent much time on this!

No worries, it could be that you saw it in some release branch test where the fix was not cherry-picked.
