Hi. How do I get `//metadebug` -annotated classes ...

Hi. How do I get //metadebug -annotated classes to be displayed on compilation? is there some compiler switch or something? I cloned the arrow-meta-examples project but nothing gets printed into compiler output even though //metadebug  is clearly there

I'm referring to this: https://github.com/arrow-kt/arrow-meta/blob/master/compiler-plugin/src/main/kotlin/arrow/meta/quotes/Quote.kt#L181
unless println is redefined to mean sth else i guess it should produce AST-ish output

that prints no output instead it adds comments to the generated sources

[raulraja]

there is no debug logger yet in meta

[raulraja]

currently debugging is done ad hoc with println

[raulraja]

or an actual debugger

[raulraja]

you can see it in action in some of the test files meta generates in its tests and it prints after each test where the generated sources are

[rt]

you mean normal println as one would expect? because i added println(f.name) to the helloWorld example and i still get nothing... it's pretty much vanilla example w/o any changes, not sure what i'm doing wrong

[rt]

i guess they do mess w/ stdout since i can get what i need by

messageCollector!!.report(CompilerMessageSeverity.WARNING, it)

you can run compilation in the same process as gradle with
-Dkotlin.compiler.execution.strategy="in-process" , then println should output some things :)
