Debugging

To view the output of your console.log, you have a few different options:

  • Open Console.app and look for the sketch logs
  • Use Safari's web inspector to debug your plugin's javascript context
  • Look at the ~/Library/Logs/com.bohemiancoding.sketch3/Plugin Output.log file

Skpm provides a convenient way to do the latter:

skpm log

The -f option causes skpm log to not stop when the end of logs is reached, but rather to wait for additional data to be appended to the input
