Plugin Development HowTo

[wakatime]

I'm building a new plugin for eric6/pymakr. The plugin activates but I can't find a way to see output from print or logging statements. Any tips?

Finished the plugin in case anyone is interested in trying it:

Nevermind, found it at ~/.config/Pycom/pymakr.ini and the Log-Viewer window shows the plugin print statements.

It looks like pymakr.ini should be at ~/.pymakr/pymakr.ini but it's not there. Also, I see the Log-Viewer window in Window -> Windows -> Log-Viewer but getting this error when trying to show that window:

QStackedWidget::setCurrentWidget: widget 0x7f8698685a00 not contained in stack

@Roberto awesome, thank you!

Hello @wakatime

First thing you need to do is switch to expert mode.

• In Pymark go to Settings > Enable expert mode
• Then go to pymakr.ini (location can vary depending on the OS), go to the UI section and add AdvancedBottomSidebar=true

After this, restart you PyMakr and you should ba able to see a new tab called Log-Viewer. Here you should be able to see your plugin output
