How to view JavaScript console output? #18

Closed osteele closed 4 years ago

osteele commented 5 years ago

The following sketch causes text to appear in a web browser's (e.g. Safari, Chrome) JavaScript Console.

Is there a way to see what's written when it runs inside p5canvas?

I've run into this as in issue in a couple of different places. First, when using console.info etc. to print values during debugging. This can be worked around with via the p5js text() function, although the workaround has some deficiencies. Secondly, when a runtime error prevents the sketch from running, it appears to be necessary to run it in a browser to see the console output, in order to diagnose the issue.

function setup() {
    console.info("Hello world!");
}

Hej Oliver,

console.info("") is currently not supported, but console.log("") should work. Also the setup function is needed by the p5canvas extension so that method can not be used. I will add console.info("") in one of the next releases.

I hope that solves your problem.
