Not seeing error messages or console.log output in AS > Logcat or chrome://inspect

[Jodes81]

I am trying to see the output of errors or console.log(...) for a real device I'm testing on, without success.

I've read Display Cordova "console.log" entries in Android Studio without any help.

I'm connecting my phone to laptop via USB:

• I have Developer Options > USB debugging enabled
• I also have put android:debuggable="true" in the AndroidManifest.xml file.
• I also have run cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-console.
• I'm running cordova build android --debug and cordova run android --debug

Nothing is working. The log entries are not appearing in:

• Android Studio > Logcat
• chrome://inspect

cordova-plugin-console is obsolete and if installed it might be interferring with standard behaviour. So I'd recommend uninstalling it.

The standard behaviour on android is console.log (and other console commands like warn, error, etc) will log to the devtools window. If the device has USB Debugging enabled, the device will be inspectable on "debug" mode apps and should be discoverable with chrome://inspect using desktop chrome.

Webview console logs are also printed in logcat, under the chromium tag:

If logs aren't appearing, double check your filters. I'd also recommend testing in a sample application (such as the HelloCordova app) to help isolate the issue. e.g. if the issue persists only in your main project, then it could be another library interferring with logging. Perhaps there is something overriding the console object?

With the information provided, there isn't really much else I can suggest, so hopefully one of these ideas will help.
