I’m using kotlin-logging, finding that it seems pretty random but sometime you have to add a newline or your next log message ends up stuck to the end of the prior one…

[oshai]

codeslubber: I think it is an issue with the underlying logging framework you use. what is it? Androind?

[codeslubber]

no, doing it in a plain kotlin project, I think I added logback?

[codeslubber]

// logging
compile ‘org.slf4jslf4j api1.7.7’
compile ‘ch.qos.logbacklogback classic1.+’
compile ‘io.github.microutilskotlin logging1.4.4’

[oshai]

so it is best first to check if its a logback issue

[oshai]

because kotlin-logging and slf4j are just facades to that matter

[codeslubber]

yeah good point ..

[codeslubber]

is there a better option?

[codeslubber]

the main reason to use logback was the ability to not have to check log levels

[codeslubber]

but clearly that is done in kotlin-logging already

[oshai]

log4j2 is a fair alternative, but I find it hard to believe it is a bug in logback. maybe something in the configuration of it

[oshai]

try also to set explicitly latest version of logback: 1.2.3

[oshai]

maybe its an old bug

[codeslubber]

yeah found a thread that ceki weighed in on on SO

[codeslubber]

it’s weird that it’s random

[oshai]

it ususally means a missing lock 🙂
