The source code for WTF Auto Layout (wtfautolayout.com), a web service that parses Auto Layout constraint-conflict error logs from iOS and macOS and renders them as intuitive visual descriptions. It is built with Swift, the Vapor server framework, and the Sparse parser-combinator library.
Use cases
- decipher 'Unable to simultaneously satisfy constraints' Auto Layout error logs
- visualize conflicting NSLayoutConstraint conflicts from an iOS or macOS crash log
- find which unwanted constraint broke my UIKit layout
- paste a constraint failure log and get a human-readable explanation
- debug translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints issues in Auto Layout
- run a Swift/Vapor web service that parses Apple framework logs
When to choose
- you are debugging UIKit or AppKit Auto Layout constraint conflicts and the raw console log is hard to read
- you want a quick web tool to paste an Auto Layout error and see the conflicting constraints visualized
- you want to study or self-host a Swift/Vapor application that parses structured Apple error logs
- you need to identify NSAutoresizingMaskLayoutConstraint entries you did not expect in your constraints
When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose log analyzer for logs other than Auto Layout constraint errors
- you want an offline or IDE-integrated constraint debugger rather than a paste-into-website workflow
- you need programmatic APIs or CI integration for constraint debugging - the project exposes a website, not a library or CLI
- you are not working with Apple's Auto Layout (iOS/macOS) constraint system
