How can I see the full error or warning in Xcode?


No matter how large I make the window, this is all I can see of warnings:

How can I see the full text of the warning at the place it appears?

I could hover the mouse over the warning as it appears in the left pane and, after waiting long enough, a tooltip appears with the full text, but I find this very awkward... Is this the only way?


Solution

  • The Issue Navigator is a compact representation. If you really want all the details, you can view the build transcript:

    • cmd+7
    • click on the top-most "Build $APP" section.
    • locate the warning or error
    • click the buttons on the right to see the full details of the step you are interested in

    Double clicking on a message will then reveal the source location in the editor.
