Log Appium testresults to console

Question

Appium won't log the test results (of the UI-tests, executed with adb emulator) to the debug output (Deug.WriteLine).

According to the documentation, get test logs is possible with the following line

ILogs logs = driver.Manage().Logs;

Hower, Appium has different log types:

• Browser
• Client
• Driver
• Profiler
• Server

I tried every single log type with the following code. But by executing I don't get any result and the test will (where I put the code) fail. Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

ReadOnlyCollection<LogEntry> logs = _driver.Manage().Logs.GetLog(LogType.Browser);
//  ReadOnlyCollection<LogEntry> logs = _driver.Manage().Logs.GetLog(LogType.Client);
//  ReadOnlyCollection<LogEntry> logs = _driver.Manage().Logs.GetLog(LogType.Driver);
//  ReadOnlyCollection<LogEntry> logs = _driver.Manage().Logs.GetLog(LogType.Profiler);
//  ReadOnlyCollection<LogEntry> logs = _driver.Manage().Logs.GetLog(LogType.Server);

foreach (var log in logs)
{
    Debug.WriteLine("Time: " + log.Timestamp);
    Debug.WriteLine("Message: " + log.Message);
    Debug.WriteLine("Level: " + log.Level);
}

Answer 1

I just figure out.

1. Check this article first relaxed Security AppiumService

2. Get the log type

       IReadOnlyCollection<string> logTypes = driver.Manage().Logs.AvailableLogTypes;
       foreach (string logType in logTypes)
       {
           Console.WriteLine(logType);
           //logcat
           //bugreport
           //server
       }
   

3. Print logs

   public static void PrintLogs(string logType)
   {
       try
       {
           ILogs _logs = driver.Manage().Logs;
           var browserLogs = _logs.GetLog(logType);
           if (browserLogs.Count > 0)
           {
               foreach (var log in browserLogs)
               {
                   //log the message in a file
                   Console.WriteLine(log);
               }
           }
       }
       catch(Exception e)
       {
           //There are no log types present
           Console.WriteLine(e.ToString());
       }
