Details

What problem or need do you have?

So our project is kinda big and we’re adding a number of options to enable targets/other swift flags/etc. The goal is to get a list of options that are being considered during the run. So I’m doing something like-

TUIST_EXPRESSION_PERF_MS=1000 TUIST_WATCH=1 tuist generate -x

What I’d like to see/be able to do with my terminal is show-

Generating project with Watch :watch: targets...
Adding expression type checking timing :hourglass: for 1000ms and longer to all targets...
(etc)

Potential solution

Exposing a light wrapper around the Logging framework, maybe called logger with the standard info, warn, error, etc functions.

macOS version

Hi, @taquitos. I’m Dosu, and I’m helping the tuist team manage their backlog and am marking this issue as stale.

Issue Summary

You requested logging support during tuist generate so projects can inspect which runtime options and flags are being considered.
The proposal was for a lightweight logger wrapper over Apple’s Logging framework with familiar methods like info, warn, and error.
The only follow-up comment so far did not include technical feedback or a concrete implementation path.

Next Steps

Please let us know if this is still relevant on the latest version of Tuist.
If it is, you can keep the discussion open by commenting here; otherwise, this issue will be automatically closed in 7 days.

Thanks for your understanding and contribution.
