Unable to print to console in Godot 4

[marks-koi]

Godot version

All versions of 4.0.

System information

MacOS Monterey 12.3.1 (21E258)

Issue description

In ANY version of Godot 4, when I wish to print anything to the console it does not show.

I wrote the following code to try to print to the console:-

var characters_name = "Mark"

func _ready():
    print (characters_name)

The console does not print the above statement. I went back to Godot 3 and was able to get the message to print to the console successfully though this means I am unable to enjoy Godot 4 on my Mac.

Steps to reproduce

Simply type the following code in any version of Godot 4 running on MacOS Monterey 12.3.1 (21E258):

var characters_name = "Mark"

func _ready():
    print (characters_name)

Tried it on "MacOS Ventura 13.5.1" and for me it works. Can also confirm that it works on Ubuntu 22.04.

Did you make sure to attach your script to a node that is loaded when you are starting the game/scene? :)

This is likely due to the same cause as https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/81893. Does your project take a long time to start in Godot 4 only (and can you reproduce this on an empty project)?

I'm reporting this as an issue from MacOS Monterey 12.3.1, im not using Ventura nor does the hardware support upgrading to Ventura.

Again, not too sure how we are linking Ubuntu into the context of this bug report.

The script is indeed attached to a node that is active and loaded. The console does not print the contents of my print message but simply prints this:

OpenGL API 4.1 ATI-4.8.15 - Compatibility - Using Device: ATI Technologies Inc. - AMD Radeon R9 M395 OpenGL Engine

I've created a new project and tried to do a print statement again and its the same issue, nothing prints. The project is very quick to start.

Do you have any external firewall software installed, or security restrictions that may affect local connections (such as parental controls, sandboxing, etc)?

[DennisManaa]

Okay, thanks for the clarification. :) I apologize if my previous message seemed unrelated to you. My intention was simply to help and to provide as much information as possible for the person who will hopefully address the issue. I did not mean to come across as mean if my text was interpreted that way. (e.g. it might be a problem that is specifically related to your version of macOS.)

No my router has its firewall turned off. There are no parental controls or sandboxing activated.

I quickly turned my MacOS firewall off and the issue in Godot 4 persisted.

For comparison, here is the Print statement working in Godot 3.5.3. Same function does not print to console in Godot 4.

Are there any workarounds as I'm currently learning Godot 4 and this has stopped me in my tracks completely,

It seems like the script isn't attached to your PlayerSprite-scene in the first video. Could you please try to attach it or am I missing something?

In the second video it is attached:

Thank you. That actually has resolved the issue. I'm not too sure how the script detached!

You're welcome; I'm glad that I was able to help. You wouldn't believe how often the same issue occurred to me. :D
