Chrome dev tools renderer console transport is not working about electron-log HOT 10 CLOSED

You call log.info when BrowserWindow is still creating. If you would like to see this log record in dev tools you should wrap this code into setTimeout with timeout 300-500ms.

@megahertz I have tried that as well. Its not working. I have tried putting log configuration post window creation as well where its giving me error.

Could you please check if there is issue in my code. Here is the link to my code: https://gist.github.com/qual/61907d22db5956014055890b88e473c4

You shouldn't configure logger inside timeout. Try this:

let i = 0;
setInterval(() => {
  log.info(`Logging from the main process #{i}`);
}, 300);

Just tried. Its still not working. Node console logs are working properly. But not a single log has appeared in in chrome renderer console.
JFYI, I am using electron-prebuilt-compile and react js. Can this cause any issue to renderer logs ?

Not sure if I understand what you are saying. If your asking about whether I have included require statement in my renderer.js files, then I am actually exposing the global log object to all the renderer processes. so I am not doing multiple requires in my renderer.js files (renderer process)

Pls show me a part of your renderer code

from electron-log.

1. Just to summarize I am declaring and exporting log module in main process as follows:
   let log = require('electron-log');
   log.info('hello from main');
   global.logger = log; //export

2. I am importing the same log module in renderer process as follows
   let log = require('electron').remote.getGlobal('logger');
   log.info('hello from renderer');

Any issue in above code ?

That's why it doesn't work. You need to import electron-log directly, not through remote

from electron-log.

Oh. My bad. I incorrectly assumed that I will have to share the same log instance across renderer processes using remote. But looks like it is taking the same log instance across main and renderer.

Now I have fixed the code. Now its working as a charm everywhere in node console, file and renderer console !

This library is extremely useful ! Thanks a lot @megahertz for your prompt help !
