Fix iOS simulator logging by using stdout.writeln instead of print

Open Copilot opened this issue 2 months ago • 0 comments

Thanks a lot for contributing!

iOS simulators (iOS 17.4+) don't display talker_logger output due to print() buffering issues, while real devices work correctly.

Root cause: Dart's print() doesn't flush buffers reliably on iOS simulators.

Changes:

  • packages/talker_logger/lib/src/logger_io.dart: Replaced print() with stdout.writeln() for immediate output flushing
  • packages/talker_logger/test/output_log_test.dart: Added tests covering single-line, multi-line, and edge cases
  • packages/talker_logger/CHANGELOG.md: Documented fix in version 5.1.8

Technical details:

// Before
void outputLog(String message) => message.split('\n').forEach(print);

// After  
void outputLog(String message) {
  for (final line in message.split('\n')) {
    stdout.writeln(line);  // Flushes immediately
  }
}

This ensures consistent logging behavior across iOS simulators and real devices.
