Is there a way to access (println) console output from code executing in the context of a Compose Interactive Preview?

System.setOut, maybe?

[jw]

Or are you saying you just want to see those logs somewhere and not necessarily capture them

[darkmoon_uk]

The second one ideally, though I suppose I could pipe it to a file with setOut

[jw]

Maybe in idea.log? I have no idea where that code is actually running in terms of processes and such

It’s not possible today to log from from Interactive Preview. But you can deploy a specific Preview to device, which then logging should work as expected

many of my previews start with these two lines:

Timber.uprootAll()
Timber.plant(Timber.DebugTree())

And then as @Chris Sinco [G] said, you can just deploy to the emulator, and put timber logging statements in there.
