Viewing Next.js Server Logs in IDX

Hi,

First, I just wanted to give my thanks to the IDX team. It’s an incredible tool, and it particularly good for getting people contributing to a project right away, which I love.

I have, what I think is a basic questions. I’ve built a Next.js project, based on the IDX Next.js starter. But i’m having a little bit of an issue seeing server logs. For example I create an API route (that works as expected) but my logs in the route I can’t seem to find.

What’s the idiomatic way of seeing these logs in IDX?

Thanks!

I think, the best way to see your Next.js server logs in IDX is to use the built-in terminal. When you run your Next.js development server within IDX (which should be happening if you’re able to test your API routes), all the server-side console output, including logs from your API routes, will be streamed to that terminal.

Hey @snipes5 thanks. But i’m not seeing it. The server starts automatically from the nix out of the box setup. But I don’t see a terminal with logs. I have some console.log statements in my api route and their output is nowhere to be seen.

Go to the output tab. and select IDX from the dropdown menu.

This is exactly what I was after! Thank you so much @notsarv !

I only see this in my Terminal. Would you know how to get that pulldown to show there?
