# Testing Extensions
|
|
|
|
## Console.log
|
|
|
|
`console.log()` might be handy for extension developers to prints out info/errors from extensions. To use `console.log`, note that Lens is based on Electron. Electron has two types of processes: [Main and Renderer](https://www.electronjs.org/docs/tutorial/quick-start#main-and-renderer-processes).
|
|
|
|
### Renderer process logs
|
|
|
|
`console.log()` in Renderer process is printed in the Console in Developer Tools (View > Toggle Developer Tools).
|
|
|
|
### Main process logs
|
|
|
|
To view the logs from the main process is a bit trickier, since you cannot open developer tools for them. On MacOSX, one way is to run Lens from the terminal.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
/Applications/Lens.app/Contents/MacOS/Lens
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can alos use [Console.app](https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/console/welcome/mac) to view logs from Lens.
|
|
|
|
On linux, you can get PID of Lens first
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
ps aux | grep Lens | grep -v grep
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And get logs by the PID
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
tail -f /proc/[pid]/fd/1 # stdout (console.log)
|
|
tail -f /proc/[pid]/fd/2 # stdout (console.error)
|
|
```
