Certain custom formatting from spdlog doesn't work

[nicholas-presien]

Hi all, I'm currently evaluating spdlog-python as a replacement for logging in the python standard library.

Looking at the documentation from spdlog for custom formatting, it seems like there are some patterns that are not working/ supported.

These are:

• %@ (Source file and line)
• %s (Basename of the source file)
• $g (Full or relative path of the source file)
• %# (Source line)
• $! (Source function)

I would presume some of it wouldn't work since it's a pybind11 wrapper of the cpp code. I wonder if there are other alternative to getting some of these working, especially the source function pattern?

@nicholas-presien did you find a way to make this work for you? I have the same issue. The solution mentioned here https://github.com/gabime/spdlog/wiki/3.-Custom-formatting#source-location-flags does not work for me with spdlog-python.

Hey @justagist, I wasn't able to get it working, I think the information or context is lost when wrap in a python wrapper.

What I did was forcing the same logging format between spdlog and python logging for the entire application.
