Hi,  
i want to ask if theres a possibility to have the logoutput in script console?  
Or do you have any idea how to do? Some ConsoleAppender? Or redirect?

If you use  
`print("Your message here")`  
it will print the message in the script console and the debug console if used in a client session.

hi ryan,

thanks for answer, but i want to know if it is possible to have the logoutput there, this would make it easier to develop function in console without writing "logger.debug(“sefs”) and print “sefs”

you understand? 🙂

Did you look at the diagnostic console while running that script in the script console?

Hi pturmel,

yes i know there is the logoutput, but still would be great it will log there also. If you are on a Laptop with only 1 Monitor it would be much easier. I guess there is no possibility.

But... the Output Console is on the same screen as the Script Console...

I understand it's not actually printing to the Script Console, but you can still see what it's doing.

Sorry to resurrect a stale thread…

I swear logging from the script console normally works. This thread seems to agrees with me. But for some reason, right now, if I open a script console and run these two lines, I get no errors and no output:

```auto
l = system.util.getLogger("TestLog")
l.error("Log this please")

```

I’m not seeing any logging output in the gateway webview or looking directly at the wrapper.log file on the sever.

I tried rebooting the Ignition server, but it still doesn’t work.

Is there something obvious I’m missing?

EDIT: Never mind, the answer was up above … it goes to the designer’s console screen instead of the gateway log… Doh!
