With V8 I was coding console.log("whatever") in my script and after I run it select View | Stackdriver logging. Then I get an alert
View in Dashboard Stackdriver logs for this project are now available in the Apps Script Dashboard.
If you'd like to view these logs in the Google Cloud Platform, you'll need to setup a different project for this script.
where "Apps Script Dashboard" is a link to see the execution and usually anything I wrote with console.log.
The logging is not always present in the execution instance. I have noticed a substantial time delay at times. In those cases I use SlidesApp.getUi().alert("whatever") because "WHO HAS TIME?".
How do you go directly to Apps Script Dashboard without going to the alert and selecting the link.
I have now switched to Logger.log(whatever) and go to view | executions. There is still occasionally a substantial time delay.
What is the difference between Apps Script Dashboard and view | executions?
What is the difference between console.log and Logger.log?
Similar to Why does Logger.log statements not show up in Logs?
