Print console.log and console.error messages in terminal (--consolelogs)

This has to be re-implemented for use with the Angular CLI. We'd need to inject a client JS file into the Angular dev server and connect to a websocket server running from the Ionic CLI.

@GuilhermeBCC Can you explain why these logs are vital for your tests? What sort of testing are you doing?

[GuilhermeBCC]

Well, when I'm running on the device I do not even see when there are any errors, the application simply hangs, there is no information to aid the fix. I am even stopped now because there is an error that I can not trace.

If the webview is loaded, you should be able to attach dev tools to debug issues and see console logs:

iOS: https://beta.ionicframework.com/docs/building/ios#using-safari-web-inspector
Android: https://beta.ionicframework.com/docs/building/android#using-chrome-devtools-to-debug

it works and it's great \o/ thanks!

Dev tools are nice, but we have to restart manually everytime we build the app. Sometimes the dev tools window closes immediatly after launch.

Is it normal that Ionic 3 projects don't show logs anymore too ?

[imhoffd]

@Borongaj No, it's not normal that Ionic 3 projects stopped logging. If you want, create a new issue.

How do I see logs for an app that is installed on the device via Ionic Pro? I'm not able to inspect a 'deployed' app in the same way I'm able to inspect an app I run on the device via 'ionic cordova run android' .. Please can you suggest a solution?

Thank you!

Just curious: do you plan to implement this in the near future?

[sjregan]

It would great to have this feature back again. The Safari Debugger is very flakey, it often crashes, doesn't detect device unless you restart. It's much nicer to be able to have a dedicated window on screen that always displays the log output.

Is there any forecast?

Given that it's nearly 1 year without any progress, I believe you can't expect a forecast/ETA/release date
