Hello :

I am buliding an app on Mac Os Catalina with Xcode 11 and Swift 5.1. The debug logs have been very useful in helping me identify changes I needed to make to move forward step by step, and to solve problems in my code.

Now the debug logs suddenly disappeared and are not showing at all.

I had some problems showing my assistant editor so I don't know if I changed a setting while trying to get my Assistant Editor to display code with the Controller Scene.

Any help in getting my logs to display again will be greately appreciated. (I am new to Mac App Development)

If you choose View > Debug Areas > Activate Console, does that help?

For me, in Xcode 15.0.1 I can see info messages but not debug ones. I guess for Xcode, that's where the debug ones would be the most useful to me. If it matters for this, I'm trying to use it with code generated by a macro, and the client playground file can't use os.log, so I'm using swift-log. Still, can't see debug level messages or a way to turn them on.

The trouble here is that my first search hit ended up at Quinn. That usually means I'm out of luck. ☺️

OK. Fine. RTFM. You have to set the log level in the logger to something that includes the level you want to show.

var logger = Logger(label: "Client")

logger.logLevel = .trace

logger.info("logger.info")
logger.debug("logger.debug")
