Hey all, is it possible to use just the KLogger interface/facade in a MPP library and let it be manually implemented on each platform? (I have an iOS target that I can't build for because kotlin-logging doesn't support it.)

[oshai]

Yes, I guess it is possible. A better approach will be to contribute it to the lib itself if possible.

[oshai]

there is currently a linux impl being worked on: https://github.com/MicroUtils/kotlin-logging/pull/119

[oshai]

the main obstacle is packaging it

[bsimmons]

Ok, so is there a version of the library with just the interface in it?

[bsimmons]

Yeah, I don't know much about linux dev unfortunately.

[oshai]

the binaries are packed separately

[oshai]

kotlin-logging-common is the common artifact

If I only include kotlin-loggin-common in commonMain I get Unresolved reference: KLogger when I try and import mu.KLogger in my iosX64 target. I guess it isn't a pure kotlin dependency?

[oshai]

I never tried what you'r doing but you probably need to add the expected interface. ie you have to implement the ios module yourself. see js for example: https://github.com/MicroUtils/kotlin-logging/blob/master/src/jsMain/kotlin/mu/KLogger.kt

[bsimmons]

Hmm, now I'm getting Actual interface 'KLogger' has no corresponding expected declaration.
I guess I should probably just create a custom logging interface for my project.

[oshai]

maybe it's not the same package name?

[bsimmons]

Using package mu Just copied and pasted the class you sent. Also, using version 1.7.8 if that matters. I have no mu dependency in my iosMain, just the kotlin-logging-common in my commonMain.

[oshai]

well, then maybe it is not possible. you can ask in #multiplatform maybe someone will know

[bsimmons]

Ok. Sounds good. Thanks for the help.
