Where are the PostgreSQL logs on macOS?

Question

I would like to take a look at the PostgreSQL log files to see what my app writes to them but I can\'t find them.

Any ideas?

If you are using Postgres.app, you can find the Data Directory location in the Preferences dialog box. In that directory, the log is at postgres-server.log.

For example, on my machine, the log is at /Users/nofinator/Library/Application Support/Postgres/var-9.4/postgres-server.log.
