LiveSync does not show console logging statements

[tjvantoll]

Hi all,

When I use livesync for development, e.g. tns livesync [platform] --watch, I expect my console logging statements to get shown in the same terminal that remains open watching for changes, but currently that's not happening. Could this be supported?

Thanks,
TJ

This is really crucial. Right now you can't do any log statements when using livesync, which kinda defeats the whole purpose of a streamlined development environment. I had to revert to doing full builds again.

The other thing I'll add is the livesync also hides stack traces. So if you create a syntax error you have no way of knowing what went wrong.

It is trivial to show device log output for tns livesync <platform> but it is a little bit challenging to support it for tns livesync <platform> --watch. We'll do our best to include it in 1.3 release of {N}.

If it's trivial to add for tns livesync, may I suggest that that is done first (and separate) from the tns livesync --watch. We can solve the --watch functionality other ways in the meantime.

Example: Me, I already have a gulpscript watching all files (as I'm doing ES2015 to ES5 transpilation). That watch script can easily fire the tns livesync (no --watch) command.

in the meantime, i've been using another terminal to tail the log generated by the simulator (iOS). ~/Library/Logs/CoreSimulator/<sim-id>/system.log

This is still not available?

Hey all,

This feature has been finally implemented for all platforms and emulators/simulators in 1.6.0. Please give it a try and share your feedback.

Doesn't seem to be working here... I still don't see any console.log items when using livesync on ios with the --watch flag

@manijak Same here. #1262 is the open issue to track that.

you can run tns debug ios --watch, which shows the debugger with console logging
