Core Features & Use Cases

  • Log Discovery: Finds the most recent timestamped log run and points to the right process logs.
  • Targeted Debugging: Reads renderer, main process, extension host, terminal, network, and agent host logs based on the issue being investigated.
  • Use Case: When a Code OSS window fails to open, use this Skill to check the latest main.log and window1/renderer.log entries for the failure signal.

Quick Start

Use the code-oss-logs skill to find the latest Code OSS log folder and show the most relevant error lines for the issue I am debugging.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find Code OSS logs for debugging startup failures?

To find Code OSS logs for debugging startup failures, locate the most recent timestamped log run under the user data directory. Inspect the main.log and window1/renderer.log files to identify the specific failure signals preventing the window from opening.

What is the best way to check extension host logs in Code OSS?

To check extension host logs in Code OSS, access the latest timestamped log directory and read the exthost.log file. This file contains the relevant process records needed to diagnose extension loading issues and related host errors.

How do I read Code OSS network activity logs for local development runs?

To read Code OSS network activity logs for local development runs, find the latest log directory and open the network log files. This isolates network problems by reviewing the recorded activity without manually hunting through folders.

Can I use a custom user-data-dir path to locate Code OSS agent session logs?

Yes, you can locate Code OSS agent session logs using a custom --user-data-dir path. The process discovers the most recent timestamped logs stored within that directory and reads the agenthost.log file to debug agent sessions.

What log files do I need to inspect to diagnose terminal issues in Code OSS?

To diagnose terminal issues in Code OSS, you need to inspect the terminal.log file. Locate it within the latest timestamped log run under the user data directory to identify the relevant error lines for the issue you are debugging.

Why does finding the right Code OSS renderer log require knowing the folder layout?

Finding the right Code OSS renderer log requires knowing the folder layout because logs are stored as timestamped runs under the user data directory. Selecting the correct window1/renderer.log file demands familiarity with this specific structure to ensure accurate debugging.
