There are no console.log messages

[dustyraven]

PhoneGap CLI, node & npm versions

CLI: 7.1.1, Node: 9.2.1, NPM: 5.6.0

Expected Behaviour

When using phonegap serve to have console messages

Actual Behaviour

No console messages even for errors.

Steps to Reproduce

console.log('anything');

Sample Code that illustrates the problem

console.log('anything');

Error messages

nothing...

I've tried adding plugin cordova-plugin-console - no difference.

Hi @dustyraven,

I just tested this with a new project and am seeing the logs both in the terminal and in the console on the browser. Are you using one of the phonegap templates?

[dustyraven]

yes, that's what I'm using for testing.
The only output I see is:

[phonegap] [console.warn] Content Security Policy has been modified to be: meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="default-src * 'unsafe-inline' gap: ws: https://ssl.gstatic.com;style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' data: blob:;media-src *;img-src * 'self' data: content:;script-src * 'unsafe-inline' 'unsafe-eval' data: blob:;"
[phonegap] 200 /api/appzip

Which template are you using? I can confirm that the blank template does not display logs, but when I use the hello-world template logs are showing up correctly.

[dustyraven]

What is the difference? I even don't know how to select some template.
I use "phonegap create myapp" and start coding.
And I'm expecting console to work (as it was in all of my previous projects).
If it's not working - we have a bug I suppose...
So I think discussion is pointless. I have one and only question - how to see logs of console?

[dustyraven]

Just tried:
phonegap create . --template hello-world
phonegap serve

[phonegap] starting app server...
[phonegap] listening on 10.48.22.80:3000
[phonegap]
[phonegap] ctrl-c to stop the server
[phonegap]
[phonegap] [console.warn] Content Security Policy has been modified to be: < meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="default-src * 'unsafe-inline' gap: ws: https://ssl.gstatic.com;style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline' data: blob:;media-src *;img-src * 'self' data: content:;script-src * 'unsafe-inline' 'unsafe-eval' data: blob:;" >

[phonegap] 200 /socket.io/?EIO=3&transport=polling&t=M6Tta1k&sid=iHET54_Z1l3FMfIEAAAA

Again no console output.

[dustyraven]

anybody?

[surajpindoria]

I have been looking into this but since I am unable to reproduce it is difficult to say what could be causing this. Are you also seeing this issue when you install the app to a device?

[dustyraven]

sorry for delay - yes.

[TakshPSingh]

I'm experiencing the same issue. Just an hour ago, the console logs were appearing just fine, but seems to have disappeared suddenly.

UPDATE: They came back after 2 hours and haven't gone since.

Did you change your CSP meta values as doing that could stop access to write to the console depending on the values you choose.

I tend to go back to the default wide open one for testing
<meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="default-src * 'unsafe-inline' gap:; style-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline'; media-src *" />
