How to output debug statements to console in Visual Studio Code

Question

How do I write to console from a .js method?

console.log is not showing anything in Console tab in Visual Studio Code

Here is an example of my method

_onPressItem = (index) => {
    console.log("Property Finder >> Pressed row: "+index);
};

This is triggered when I press on an item in my ListView. If I run this through XCode, I will see console.log line above printed in XCode. But if I debug it in VSCode, I see no console.log line being printed at all.

My Steps: 1. Open my project in VSCode My VS Code has installed react-native tools already

2. Cmd+P then type command Debug: Start Debuging (it is an available command, I just select it)

3. My App starts, DEBUG CONSOLE tab shows some lines but no line from my console.log command is shown

Answer 1

I added:

"outputCapture": "std"

to my debug launch configuration and console.log statements work in the "DEBUG CONSOLE" tab.

Alternatively:

"console": "integratedTerminal" 

shows console.log in the "TERMINAL" tab.
