Is there a way to prevent developers from using kotlin-logging's logger.log("this $expensiveOperation()"), in favor of them doing logger.log { "this $expensiveOperation()" } ?

perhaps a detekt rule that flags this?

[Joffrey]

Do you mean a specific expensiveOperation? Or any method call? You could write a wrapper for logger.log that provides a scope to call the operation only in the lambda form, but that would be a bit convoluted

[sreich]

aynthing, just so that they are using the lambda form always

[Joffrey]

ah

[sreich]

since the lambda form is the only one that can be optimized out

[Joffrey]

maybe you could go with a custom IDEA inspection that flags all usages of logger.log(String) - but that would only work on this IDE. Otherwise yeah a rule on whatever linter you're using would be best

[sreich]

hmmm that would work.

[sreich]

are those trivial to add? can you make it auto replace them?

[sreich]

oooh these are nice. i'll read up on them, very powerful

[Joffrey]

Sorry for the delay, I had missed your messages. I'm not sure which solution you're talking about, is it IDEA inspections? Or Detekt? I'm not very well versed in either to be honest, but I know IDEA inspections are pretty nice, especially if you share .idea and other devs use IDEA too

[sreich]

just intellij inspections. yeah precisely, looks like i can do a lot with them. i'll take a look. thanks
