Question: How to use log when set window.log = log.functions

[MonsieurPatate]

So from here I chose the first method and didin't queit understand how to call log?)

I've tried in renderer process:

window.log.error('some error');

console.error('some error'

How to call the electron-log using the first aproach?
Any help please?)

Thanks

Depending on Electron version and webPreferences, if window.log = log.functions doesn't works, you may use contextBridge.exposeInMainWorld('log', log.functions);

it's a kind of magic =)

Thanks, worked for me in electron-react-boilerplate. It would be helpful if this was mentioned in the docs.

Also, in case this helps anyone, I realised that the renderer outputs to a separate log file to the main process, so you will end up with two log files.

how to you use in renderer process with electron-react-boilerplate I use but can't see log error file and how to use in preload.js and App.tsx to generate file error

[petestarkey]

Put this in preload.js:

const log = require('electron-log');
contextBridge.exposeInMainWorld('log', log.functions);

And put this in App.tsx:

window.log.error('Error, from renderer side!');

Or this in App.tsx if you want to log standard console errors:

console.error = window.log.error;
console.error("test console error")

And then once you run your app, you should get a file called renderer.log in C:\Users[username]\AppData\Roaming\BadgePrintingKiosk\logs showing your test error.

i use this template https://electron-react-boilerplate.js.org/
I add this code into AppUpdater Constructor in main.ts and have main.log in folder with path project but I can't have renderer.log in this folder path. It log in terminal when I run it. How can I fix it

log.transports.file.resolvePath = (variables) => {
      return process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production'
        ? path.join(
            process.env.PORTABLE_EXECUTABLE_DIR,
            `${variables.appName}/${variables.fileName}`
          )
        : path.join(
            __dirname,
            `../../${variables.appName}/${variables.fileName}`
          );
    };
