Debugging Lua on recent Mac OS versions

[Axl]

I've been dabbling with Lua scripting again and I've found that there is no console.log anymore on Yosemite. The system log messages that show in the Console app don't seem to show any print output from my scripts anymore.

Is there another way to check my debugging output or am I missing something (again)?

I'd be surprised if they weren't going anywhere. Have you tried all the various logs that are visible via Console?

[Axl]

I've searched for my test string under "System Log Queries -> All Messages". It doesn't show up

What shows up are a lot of entries like this:

I've revamped my Lemur interface so Lua isn't such a high priority anymore. But now that I'm playing with 4 instances of Crossfade Loop, the fact that I have to open the preferences first on each instance for OSC to work does get a little annoying. Is there a chance of that getting fixed in the near future? Let me know if you need any more info on that from me.

Cheers,
Axel

It's on my list, but it'll have to wait until after NAMM.

I stumbled on this thread after discovering the same thing - no console output in OS X. I've had trouble getting the 'example' script - available on the Expert Sleepers site - to work and while trying to 'fix' it I discovered that I was getting no console output either. I assumed I was doing something wrong, which I may be still. Skins are working for me, at least in the sense that I can see different GUIs

Are Augustus Loop lua scripts, for instance the 'example' script, working properly on OS X at this time?

What a great program BTW!
