Research direction

Start at FluentRecordFormatter._structuring and reproduce the failure by attaching a fluent handler, then calling logger.info('1'). Confirm the behavior for JSON scalars and lists, and consider the issue done when these messages no longer raise AttributeError while dictionary messages continue to work.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

json.loads(str(msg)) may not return a dict, it can return:

  • int if msg is a json dumped from an int, for example msg = '123'
  • list if msg is a json dumped from a list, for example msg = '["s", "1"]'

Only dict have items() method.

So if you get a logger and add a fluent.handler to it, then you execute
logger.info('1')
you will get an AttributeError
