lombok.config, IntelliJ IDEA and multi-module Maven projects

[Misagh Moayyed]

I have got a question about the configuration and placement of the lombok.config file that hopefully is small to resolve.

I am working with a multi-module Maven project that is loaded inside the IntelliJ IDEA IDE. 

• I have placed the lombok Maven dependency into the parent pom of the project
  
• I have also created the lombok.config file at the root of my project directory in the parent folder, right next to the parent pom. 
  
• I have set both "config.stopBubbling = true" and "lombok.log.fieldName = 'logger'" inside the configuration.
  

Then, inside a Java class in one of the maven submodule projects, I added the annotation "@Slf4j" and I can see that a "log" field is generated, but I was expecting "logger" to show up. I am not sure what I have to do in order to have lombok load the configuration file. 

Any suggestions?

Regards,

Misagh

Any thoughts or suggestions on how I can apply the configuration system to change the logger field? Not been able to make any progress. I should note that I am using Oracle JDK7.

Hello Misagh,

lombok.config files are currently not supported by lombok-intellij-plugin.

[Misagh]

Thanks for the response.

To be exact, I am not yet using the lombok-intellij-plugin. All I have done is add the maven dependency for lombok, and the config file and the annotation. That's all. 

I take it, that should work with any IDE? or am I missing something here?

In retrospect it perhaps would be easier to define loggers, if I could do @Slf4j(name="logger") or something to that effect.

We've decided to not use this syntax for two reasons:

1) You can use the default "log"

2) If you have a very good reason not to, you can change it for all @Slf4j occurrences on the configuration system

3) "name" would be confusing; it could also mean the name of the logger, not of the field

[Misagh Moayyed]

Well:

 

1)      Both slf4j and Logback seem to use “logger” in their examples, which I would take to be the recommended variable name as a convention.  But that’s not big deal. I understand opinions vary on this.

2)      This is impractical, if you are dealing with very large codebases like I am. (The noise that it would produce in the commit log just to get one piece working without anything functionally relevant would more than likely be rejected upon code review and/or discussions).

3)      I am not prejudiced towards that syntax; anything that would make it clearer would be fine with me.

 

 

I guess my biggest issue is, the intellij plugin does not support loading the configuration system. So without that support,  I was hoping to be able to do the config right in the annotation syntax, and without that even, I simply won’t be able to use lombok at all which is sad news all around.
