Hi I’m using kotlin script engine in a webapp to build PoC, I’d like to know is it possible to redirect the stdout to a string buffer or StringWriter directly?? I’ve tried to set the scriptEngine.context.writer but it seems not working.

Hi!
You can do it only via System.setOut, etc., since we do not intercept io on the compilation to allow any other approach.
The scriptEngine.context.writer is not implemented because Sysstem.setOut is the only way to do it, and we assume that the user knows better his environment to implement a specific solution - it is difficult to make a good general one.

Thanks! It's working!
