通过Golang记录器写日志

Question

I am trying to write log by using log.Logger, my code is like bellow. I don't understand why my log can be written using Error inside initLog function but in main function it can't be written to the log file.
Can anybody explain for me?
Thanks.

package main

import (
    "log"
    "net/http"
    "os"
)

const (
    PORT = ":8081"
)

var (
    Error *log.Logger
)

func initLog() {
    errorFile, err := os.OpenFile("error.log", os.O_RDWR|os.O_APPEND, 0660)
    defer errorFile.Close()

    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }

    Error = log.New(errorFile, "ERROR: ", log.Ldate|log.Ltime)
    Error.SetOutput(errorFile)
    Error.Println("Log error will be written into error.log")

}

func main() {
    initLog()
    Error.Println("Test write log")
    http.ListenAndServe(PORT, http.FileServer(http.Dir('.')))
}

You're closing the file when returning from initLog() using defer errorFile.Close() so inside main() the file errorFile is closed.

So comment this line:

defer errorFile.Close()

And move it to the main().
