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

• javascript
• react-native
• visual-studio-code
• console.log

• show some actual code. – Khurram Commented Aug 20, 2017 at 17:31
• Maybe react-native is grabbing the console object? Try assigning the console object to your own var before importing react-native. Just a thought. – bvj Commented Sep 4, 2017 at 7:37

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.

Debug > Start Debugging F5 and see the output at DEBUG CONSOLE

I have the same issue.

I'm opening in a browser ("type": "vscode-edge-devtools.debug") in the configuration.

In the browser, if I hit f12 and go to the 'console' tab, that appears to be where the console.log is writing to.
