How do I enable console.log?

console.logs, console.infos don't seem to show up in the log in the dashboard, nor when using npx convex dev --tail-logs, am I missing something 🙂 ?

Are the logs inside of a convex function? Logs always print, nothing to enable.

Maybe you're looking at the wrong deployment in the dashboard?

erquhart•3mo ago

Not showing in local dev either

@bear where are these console.logs, inside of a function that you're running? [edit: oops erquhart already asked this]

bearOP•3mo ago

yep, normal console.log inside the handler and I do see my requests coming in

ballingt•3mo ago

What kind of function is it? Could you paste the code for one? Are you using any npm libraries that might be monkeypatching or shadowing console?

export const create = mutation({
    args: {
        data: v.any()
    },
    handler: async (ctx, { data }) => {
        const userId = await getAuthUserId(ctx);
        console.warn('adsflkjasldkf');
        console.info('PLEASE WORK', userId);
        console.log('CHECKIN', userId);
        const id = await ctx.db.insert('tasks', { ...data, createdBy: userId });

        return id;
    }
});

export const create = mutation({
    args: {
        data: v.any()
    },
    handler: async (ctx, { data }) => {
        const userId = await getAuthUserId(ctx);
        console.warn('adsflkjasldkf');
        console.info('PLEASE WORK', userId);
        console.log('CHECKIN', userId);
        const id = await ctx.db.insert('tasks', { ...data, createdBy: userId });

        return id;
    }
});

no it's very barebones

ballingt•3mo ago

What if you npx convex run yourfilename:create '{"data": 1}'

bearOP•3mo ago

random, but any chance this has an effect? I get these on startup and every call, note that the "task" does get created

ballingt•3mo ago

Ah! ~~Convex mutations are transactions, if one part doesn't go through then none of it does~~ I don't think your deploys are taking then

bearOP•3mo ago

really my tasks are created though

If schema validation fails, you can't push On the dashboard of this deployment in the functions tab, what is the code there?

bearOP•3mo ago

OH wait so I have to fix my data to push?

ballingt•3mo ago

or change your schema so that it matches your data you're trying to move from one schema to another schema, and the new one doesn't apply

bearOP•3mo ago

I see

ballingt•3mo ago

so you'll need to do a migration, or (probably easier for a small project) just change the data to match the new schema

bearOP•3mo ago

makes sense, thank you

ballingt•3mo ago

often a two-step proceess, e.g. addinga new field requires making the field optional in the schema, pushing that, then changing the data, then pushing the schema where it's required yeah you can't push your functions separately from your schema, they're always a package deal you can turn off schema enforcement if you want, that's a convenient way to iterate and then clean up later https://docs.convex.dev/database/schemas#schemavalidation-boolean

bearOP•3mo ago

perfect 🙂

ballingt•3mo ago

just beware that if you do that your TypeScript types may not be accurate, TypeScript won't know that some of the items in that table don't actually have that field (probably obvious, just making clear for anybody following along)

bearOP•3mo ago

I'll make my fields optional for now, thanks again
