Hi @Sven. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- The console.log() statements from your server-side code, including your API endpoints, will be visible in the terminal where you ran the wasp start command. This is the standard output for server-side logging in a Wasp application. For example, if you have a console.log() in your server function like this:

export const upload: Upload = (req, res) => { 
  console.log(req.body); 
  res.send(); 
};

export const upload: Upload = (req, res) => { 
  console.log(req.body); 
  res.send(); 
};

The output of console.log(req.body) will be displayed in the terminal where you ran wasp start. If you need more detailed logs or debug messages, there isn't a built-in way in Wasp to do this yet. However, you can follow the progress of this feature request on this GitHub issue (https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/issues/73). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ---------------------- Sorry @Sven, I seem to be having a bit of trouble. Don't worry though, I've pinged my support and they will try to fix me up! :technologist: Perhaps try again in 15mins?

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- The logs you are seeing are HTTP request logs, which are automatically generated by the server for each incoming request. They show the HTTP method (GET, POST, etc.), the request path, the response status code, the time it took to process the request, and the size of the response. If you have added console.log() statements in your server-side code and they are not showing up in the logs, it could be due to a few reasons: 1. The code containing the console.log() is not being executed. Make sure the function or route containing the console.log() is actually being called. 2. There might be an error occurring before the console.log() statement, causing the function to exit prematurely. Check for any error messages in the logs. 3. If you're using console.log() inside a promise or async function, make sure the promise is being resolved. Unresolved promises can cause console.log() statements to not be executed. If you're still having trouble, you might want to consider using a more advanced logging library that provides more control over log levels and output formatting. However, this would involve modifying the generated server code, which is not officially supported by Wasp at the moment. For more detailed debugging, you can follow the progress of this feature request on this GitHub issue (https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/issues/73). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ---------------------- Sorry @Sven, I seem to be having a bit of trouble.

We are missing some context to be able to help. Please share your API code + Wasp file bits so we can see what you tried to do.
