Debugging a WebView (Ionic) app on Android via logcat

Question

There are several questions about the subject, however not one of them seems to address the particular problem I\'m having.

I\'m developing an app with Cordova/Ionic

Answer 1

Alternatively when runing adb on linux or unix based os/git bash:

adb logcat | grep 'Web Console'

Answer 2

What works for me in 2019:

adb -d logcat chromium:I *:S

The -d indicating a physical device in my case. If all else fails just dump the results of adb logcat into a text file and do a search for "CONSOLE", that will give you the provider for your logcat filter. It seems this changes over time, and depending on your particular dev environment.

Answer 3

While you can use grep under Linux/Unix, findstr might be your choice under Windows:

adb logcat | findstr /C:"Web Console"

If you prefer to use grep under Windows, you can get it from http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/grep.htm.

Answer 4

It seems that logcat can not properly parse tag names with whitespaces. So instead I suggest using grep on the device:

adb shell "logcat | grep 'Web Console'"
