<![CDATA[creating a logger to capture module console.log/Log.log output]]>I have been fighting some crashes for a while, but using the dev window doesn’t help. it dies when Electron dies…

I found this logger, and it has helped a LOT…

thought others would be interested…

you put the javascript in a file (I used js/logger.js)
and then add the two lines to the index.html file (change the path/name of the logger.js file to match what you do)

the log file will be in ~/.config/Electron/logs
(note the leading dot on config)

I’ll test it as well…

MMM-Logging does similar , but always failed for me when the debugger failed…

What do you think?
