Allow search in the Appcelerator Console

[olof-nord]

Feature request:
Allow the output shown in the Appcelerator Console window to be searchable.

Support this feature request!
Without this feature, it is almost impossible to debug

[jason919]

If this console can be redirected to a local file under "build" directory, developer can use external editor to search it as a workaround for now.

@jason919 The build process will always write a build_<platform>.log file in the build directory

[olof-nord]

@ewanharris This is useful, however what I am interested in is not only the build process log "build and deploy", but the ongoing "$appname" log which is shown during app execution.

I use this to output debug information to the console during runtime.

Guys, the whole plugin is open source. Quick features like this can easily be extended if necessary.

@hansemannn , i tried to extend it, but my knowledge with Atom's api is very limited, if it is easy for you, can shed some light on how to change the JS files to write the console log to a file? I think making it searchable won't be an easy task. what I am doing now is copy the command line from the console and run it directly in a terminal window

I think that I might contribute this. I'm not sure that I love my approach, but it seems to be functional and do what you guys are looking for.
