Cannot handle a string with % in it

[pai911]

I encounter a very serious issue.

It seems there is a big difference between how XCGLogger & NSLogger handle Strings

In XCGLogger, it asks us to use String interpolation, but the NSLogger uses a way similar to NSLog (use %).

I'm not sure why, but after I integrated the connector, it seems that if I try to print some string with % in it, the app will just exit with error.

For example, "fullURL: %a" cannot be used or the app will crash because of bad memory access.

I really love your work, but I'm really concerned about this kind of error

Let me know if you need more info :)

Thanks for the kind words, but I did only on the connector, not the logger itself. Avoid the @ syntax, log.info("fullURL: (url)") should always work

Hi the problem is if I need to log an URL, this issue will happen..

If I am using only NSLogger, then i'll know % is a special character, then I can understand the crash.

But for other developers on my team, they may be shocked by this issue...

I am thinking about a way to solve this issue. For the NSLogger, the formatted string is used, and % is treated as a special char, and the way to escape it is to use "%%".

But this way, XCGLogger (default log destination: Console) will print out double % as well

What do you think about adding some escaping logic in the connector to escape % only for NSLogger?

I think it's okay to add this logic in: public override func output(logDetails: XCGLogDetails, text: String)

The following code can fix my problem:
var logMessage = logDetails.logMessage.stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString("%", withString: "%%")

Have you considered raising this issue on XCGLogger directly?

It sounds like this is an issue that should be addressed there, not in this connector.
